Next Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, Richmond will entertain thousands of her friends and neighbors in Eastern Indiana and Western Ohio. Weather permitting the revival of the Panic Prcfaf GtyY ' ili Festival will be the most successful event ever held in this part of the state. Every provision has been made to entertain the big crowds which will take advantage of the city's hospitality, and it will fee well w "th anyone's time to visit the city during the three days of the big event. It will be especially profitable for farmers to lay aside their cares and responsibilities for a day or two to attend the Festival. Not on! there be displayed one of the greatest exhibitions of live stock, grains, fruits and vegetables ever shown in Indiana, but the industrial exhibition, the "Made-in-Richmond" show, will be of exceptional interc the tiller of the soil. Richmond is one of the greatest agricultural implement manufacturing centers in the United States. What, then, could be of more interest to the farmers than the displays of machines for farm use that the many factories of Richmond will have on exhibition? j - t The farm wife will be as interested as her husband in what she sees at the festival. The domestic science exhibit, for instance, will be the most complete ever displayed in Indiana, outside of the state fair; the poultry exhibit (and what woman living in the rural districts is not interested in poultry), will surpass that shown at any other festival, while the educational exhibit will appeal to every woman. interested in the welfare of her children. This feature is expected to be one of the most prominent ones at the big Festival. CJ In their efforts to make the various exhibits at the Festival the most comprehensive ever displayed in Eastern Indiana or Western Ohio, the promoters of the big event have not neglected giving attention to that most necessary feature wholesome amusements. Festival amusements this year, as a matter of fact, will be practically as numerous as the displays. On North A street will be the shows of the largest carnival company in the United States all first class attractions. Then there will be a wild west show which will delight the small boy to his heart's content. And last, but most important of all, there will be daily flights over the city by a Wright aeroplane. No aeroplane exhibition has ever been held in this part of the state and the flights of the big airship are certain to be of most unusual interest. - CJ Three of the most interesting features of the festival will be the agricultural, industrial and automobile parades. The first mentioned pageant will be held Wednesday, the opening day, and will be participated in by farmers from practically every township in Wayne county, who will show their fine horses, cattle, sheep and swine and the trophies of their fertile fields. CJ Thursday comes the great industrial parade. Practically every factory arid business house in the city will be represented in this and the entries already made give assurance that it will be at least five miles in length. All this week attractive floats were being constructed for this pageant. In a riot of color will be shown the vast business interests of prosperous, progressive Richmond and it is expected the spectacle will be witnessed by the greatest crowd ever assembled in this city. Rivaling the industrial and agricultural parades in general interest will be the automobile pageant Friday noon. Hundreds of gaily, fantastically decorated machines, representing nearly every make of car in the country, will participate in this and it will be one of the most unique spectacles ever, witnessed in Indiana. ' '." 1 CJ Throughout the three days of the Festival the city will ring with the music of nine bands, including the great Festival band of sixty pieces, organized and.instructed by Lee B. Nusbaum: And the big "homecoming" of Richmond's expatriated sons and daughters must not be overlooked in listing the important events of the three gala days of next week. Many of your old friends and neighbors you have not seen since LaDDV cruldhpod days will be here, coming back to see-the old familiar landmarks, to renew old acquaintanceships and to marvel at the citys growth.
