" dtoes Several Years
Chowan County residents were urg
ed today to help make the 1954 N. C.
State Fair, October 19-23, the biggest
and best in history.
C. W. Overman, county agent for!
the State College Extension Service,
urged rural and urban residents alike
“to participate in the 1954 State Fair
in every way possible. The fair be
longs to the people and will be only
as good as the people make it.”
He pointed out that one of the best
ways of helping make the State Fair
a big success is to “go to Raleigh and!
spend all day on the fairgrounds, tak-|
ing in as much as possible.” A still i
better way to participate, according to
the county agent, is to enter one of
the many competitive departments of
the fair.
In 1953, when the State Fair cele
brated its 100th anniversary, exhibit
ors in the competitive departments
were awarded nearly $42,000 in State
Fair premiums. This year the fair
management has put up approximate
ly $50,000 in premiums. The county
agent expressed the hope that several
residents of Chowan would come home
with State Fair premiums and rib
bons this year. “This sort of state
wide participation can mean a great
deal to the individuals competing and
the counties represented,” he said.
Overman again reminded citizens
that they may obtain a free State Fair
Catalogue and. Premium List by writ
ing: Manage*. N. C. State Fair, P.
O. Box 1388, Raleigh, N. C.
For several years H. H. Lane of the
Ryland community and his son, Her
bert Ray Lane, won the honors for
their sweet potato entries. There
should be many sweet potato entries
from this county this year, as Chowan
County farmers can produce as good
sweet potatoes as are grown in North
Carolina.
