The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 9, 1969 — PAGE T "GOD BLESSES AMERICA” was win the County Fair. The entry was by Hig- ner of the Community Booth division at gins Grange of Saluda. (Sunphoto) The County Agents Column Newberry-Saluda Fair: The Newberry-Saluda County Fair for 1969 is half over and we hope that each of you has been out and looked over all the beautiful and artistic exhi bits. The total number of farm crop exhibits is off from past years; but while off in number, not in quality. The Holstein and Jersey cattle were judged Tues day. Certainly everyone who goes to the fair just can’t re sist a trip through the flower house. This year they were beautiful. After all the judging was over Tuesday and the main exhibit bam opened to the pub lic, I was amazed at the num ber of favorable comments I over-heard on the general field crops, community booths, the flowers and the booths put in by both Newberry and Saluda 4-H clubs. Also I heard some of the men talking about the booths of the Newberry and Sal uda Home Demonstration clubs and the Extension Homemakers Council. I think that every in dividual who has had any part in working on a booth or enter ing an-exhibit should oe com mended on a job well done.
