Show VOICE OF THE PEOPLE By Telegram Readers State Fair Held Of Poor Quality Editor Telegram Now that the 1950 Utah state fair has closed its gates with a record attendance it is appropriate to ask just why in such crowds should have attended this show It was in m my opinion one of the poorest of exhibitions The Salt Lake county fair considering considering considering con con- its size was superior I took my two children out to the fair fall and we wandered around for several hours but could find vcr very little of interest to see Other than the ice show which was excellent and the tonk midway which was distinctly distinctly distinctly dis dis- second rate there was little to appeal to anyone How the fair board or whoever is responsible can justify charging admission to see such a show is beyond me I have been to other state fairs and they are far better than ours was this year They have exhibits exhibits exhibits ex ex- ex- ex hibits of various kinds which are really educational and en en- en They have special a attractions which are worth seeing My attitude is by no means isolated A number of friends have made the same comment about the fair One of them re remarked remarked remarked re- re marked about moth eaten exhibits exhibits exhibits ex ex- ex- ex hibits which appear year after year It seems to me that the state of Utah has a big investment out at the fairgrounds in land buildings buildings build build- ings and other improvements Itis It Itis Itis is a shame not to use them to put on a really outstanding exhibition exhibition ex ex- ex- ex hib tion each fall that will draw visitors from all parts of the intermountain in intermountain in- in region and send them home with a feeling of satisfaction satisfaction satisfaction sat sat- that their trip was worth while their money well spent If U we cant can't do that we ought to forget a state fair all together and let the old fash type of county fairs take takeover takeover takeover over the job of displaying our wares Disgusted |
