Mark your July calendar for the community fair

The Silvana Community Fair Board would like to thank the many folks who donated items for our auction and also the news media which supported us by getting the information about the auction out to everyone. A special thank you goes to the folks who attended the auction. Some folks got an excellent buy and some folks just opened their hearts and their wallets and made the auction an outstanding success.

With the amount of money raised we will not only have extra money for paying points to the children (awarded based on the ribbons they receive) but to also improve our facilities at the fair. One of the items we are now purchasing is a 20-by-30 foot tent to offer protection for our swine show area. For our city friends, yes, pigs can get sun burned when exposed to too much sun.

We hope everyone will mark their calendar for fair day, Saturday, July 27. There is no admission charge for the fair or for the evening program. It is our way of saying thank you for your support of an old fashion fair where every one can come and have a day of fun. The lucky winner of the door prize of two nights in Reno was Mr. Harold Kehres of Arlington.
