Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 July 1911 — TO HAVE HORSE SHOW. [ARTICLE]

TO HAVE HORSE SHOW.

Citizens So Decide at Meeting Friday Night. At a public meeting called by the president of the Commercial Club last Friday night it was decided to hold a horse show in Rensselaer again this fall, and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, September 20-23 inclusive, were selected as the dates for holding same. It is planned to make this show surpass all previous efforts in this line and to do so it will take considerable money, but with the boom Rensselaer is entering upon it is not thought the raising of the necessary fund’s will be a very hard matter; that the business men and citizens generally will thaw out liberally. The various committees are getting busy and it will not be long before the line of attractions in addition to the horse show proper will be announced.
