The old Poultry and Pigeon building was torn down to provide an area for the construction of a new State of Utah License plate distribution office. At the time the building was torn down this spring it was the intention of the Division of Expositions to construct a new building for fairtime. However, cirto due unforseen cumstances, it was not possible to get the building underway and completed for fair time. and Poultry Pigeon representatives decided that it would be best not to have a show this year since the birds could not be shown in a tent and since there would not be adequate building space available.
