RENSSELAER, INDIANA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1910. *

FAIR ASSOCIATION IS PROPOSED FOR RENSSELAER.

Business Men, Stockmen and Fanners Talk of Proposition to Start Country Fair at This Place. The success of the horse show this year and last has caused many to suggest a country fair for another year. The plan that seems to meet the general approval is the organization of an association, the purchase or lease of land and the construction of a race track, exhibit hall, ball ground, etc. The use of the commercial club addition in the east part of town has been suggested, but it is generally thought that a better tract would .be the Kanne land, just west of town. Mr. Kanne has 70 acres in the one tract and would sell any part of it. One thing that makes it favorable is that woods are available. Another is its better location, especially as regards attendance from Remington, Wolcott, Goodland, Brook, Mt. Ayr, etc. It is believed that an association could be formed with sufficient capita, to start the fair auspiciously and tha' if started pt once a good fair could be held next year. It is probable that a meeting will be called and a start made in that direction. Kankakee, Crown Point, Boswell and other tow.n have splendid fairs and they pay out too. Rensselaer is admirably situated for a good country fair.

Over 100 people, comprising Rensselaer’s best talent* are now rehearsing for the home talent entertainment to be put on here at the opera house Thursday and Friday, Oct. 13-14.
