It was won by his wife due to her champion milk maid efforts in a 1924 county-wid- e contest. She put it to good use for 22 years after receiving it. The 1906 Davis County Fair described last week seemed to have been very successful Everything was well organized. The publicity was good. Attendance was high. IT WOULD be logical to assume the fair would become an annual activity. This was not the case. NO MENTION of a county fair is made in the 1907 issues of The Clipper (Davis Countys only newspaper in 1907.) Reasons for not holding a fair are not given. A STATE-WID- fair was The Clipper E held in 1907. articles encouraged Davis County residents to enter their best in the state competition. In 1908 The Clipper y announced a fair would be held in Ogden. Later issues of the paper report this four-count- event was very successful. YEARS went by. Davis County people continued to be involved in the state fair. Occasionally, farmers picnics, sports events, county-wid- e horse races and horse pulling contests were held. Finally, the interest in a e county-wid- e activity again became a news item. The year was 1924. fair-lik- "THE CLIPPER announced on Sept. 5, 1924 the Davis County Dairy Picnic would be held at Lagoon between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Committee for the picnic included W. J. Thayne, Davis County Extension Agent; A.B. Barton. Farm Bureau President; John I. Hatch. Ernest Layton. Paul White-side- s and W. A. Roberts. ACTIVITIES for the day in- cluded baseball, horseshoe pitching, a milk maid contest and a buffalo barbecue. Although recreation and pleasure were a big part of the Dairy Picnic, the main purpose of the event was to show people the value of better livestock. better feeding, testing for T.B. and modern farm practices. MEETINGS were combined with recreational activities to g make the program entertaining and informative. Governor Mabey was in attendance. He told the farday-lon- mers there was value in cooperating and organizing together for a purpose. HUGH J. Cannon showed the job the woman has on the average dairy farm and he encouraged the wife to support her husband. Dr. T. Beaty talked about cooperative health work. W. F. HAGAN, the county home agent, was elected to head a committee to form health centers in the county. Musical entertainment was provided by Mrs. Lars and Leah Myatt who The played an accordion duet. Man-wari- Syracuse Ukelele girls also performed. THE CLIPPER reported 1.000 people attended the pic- nic. Mrs. Carl Craig won the milk maid contest. The tug of war was won by the North end of the county. So was the ball game. Dan Adams and Andy Adams were victorious in the horseshoe pitching contest. Old time dancing was held in the evening. THE FIRST official Davis County Fair in modern times Nichols began in 1925. Dc Lore t was appointed Davis County Extension Agent, replacing W. J. Thayne. Under the leadership of Mr. Nichols, Farm Bureau Days, the early name for the Davis County Fair, officially became a yearly function of the Davis County Commissioners, the Extension office and the Farm Bureau. THE BUFFALO barbecue, music, games, sports and the milk maid contest that had been part of the Dairy Farmers Picnic were all incorporated into Farm Bureau days. The event was expanded to include horse pulling contests, girls sewing clubs displays, Verdeland Park, household furniture and utensils from days past, farm implements, Indian artifacts and much more will all be on display to the public when the Hentage Museum of Layton opens on a daily basis Thursday, Oct.
