[THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1929 I Me. ~ Exhibits in All Departments Will Surpass Former GATES OF 1929 OSHAWA FAIR OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ON WEDNESDAY MORNING NEXT All Indications Point to 1929 Exhibition Surpassing All Previous Records in Re- tions and Attendanc: - Variety of Vaudevilie Acts Arranged for After- noon and Evening--Fire- wes Display and Acts ar > Please All Vis- itors to ce Fair Once again the sands of time drift to the autumn of the year, and just, as it were. to usher in that glorious season of harvest and plenty, comes the annua: Fall Fair of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, or bet- ter known, Oshawa Fair. Many years have passed and Osh- awa Fair--let us call it that--has al- ways stood our. for its enterprise and popularity but this vear, 1929, will see the most outstanding lair ever to be held in the long and eventful history of the organization, and if anyone is doubtful, let him tarry with us for a few minutes and some of the events of this year's cxposi- tion will be outlined. Before anything actually happens, R. N. JOHNS Of Oshawa, director of Oshawa Fair. the - 1929 | Johnny takes a pin and bursts gard to Exhibits, Attrac- there must be something behind it to either cause it, to happen or to prepare it for happening--if you get our meaning. For instance if little his sister's balloon, that's something which is caused to happen while if an organization organizes for an cvent, plans and makes arrangements for an event weeks, yes months ahead of time, that event is some- thing which is prepared to happen. Oshawa Fair is now prepared to take |- place. The stage is set as it weére and now practically all that remains is for the morning of Tuesday, Sep- tember 10, to dawn as ally as possible to start the machinery in ac- tual motion for three glorious days of Fair, Fair and more Fair. The first day of - Fair, Tuesday, September 10, is preparation day and the same above mentioned little Johnny doesn't have to climb the fence or at least attempt to, in order to sce for nothing what's go- ing on. Ne admission is charged on Tuesday and indeed, everyone is wel- comed, provided they don't get into the road of busy men. Tuesday will sec Johnny's cousin Tommy bringing up some art work or some vegetables or some needle work for his sister, to place in the tent provided for the Public School exhibits. The Pub- lic School exhibits will be bigger and better than cver this year. While the many exhibits are being arranged, horses and wagons, trucks. andl automobiles will be hurrying in and out of the grounds, bringing vegetables and flowers for the Main Building, horses, cattle, sheep and pigs for the stable buildings and per- haps some artwork or needle work for the Women's Building. Every- where there will be hustle and bustle because on the next day, Wed- nesday, the Fair gets under way, and there will be no time then to put things into order. And so by Wednesday, September 11, everything will be in readiness. And then the fun begins. As early as nine o'clock in the morning, people will be seen on the roads out- side Oshawa, with anticipation writ- tent on their faces, making their way for a certain place known as Alex- andra Park. Finally they will ar- rive but many ef the good townsfolk are probably: there already ahead of them, but what do they care? Anyway they get to the gates and there they receive their first sur- prise--the admission charges. have been changed. To get into Oshawa Fair costs no longer 35 cents for mother and father and 15 cents for Johnny and Mary, but now it: is -- : Ww. D. DYER Of Columbus, director of the Oshawa Fair for 1929. only: the small sum. of 25 cents: for the adults and 10 for children. More like the CN.E. every day you ex- plain, But when you get your car nicely parked and set out to see what's what, you'll think more than ever that you are seeing something worth coming several miles to glance @ at. First of all you'll probably see .the flags and tents and what not down around the midway and ten to one; if the horse racing hasn't started yet, you'll find yourself unconsciously straying in that direction. Well, just let your arches do their duty and you'll get an immediate view of one of the smartest and liveliest midways that ever ballyhooed Osh- awa. The Wallace Brothers Shows have the. concession this year to admin- ister "all the joy-rides that are _re- quired, their retinue including Fer- ris wheels, a merry-go-round, a whip, and other features, and their prices don't put a hole in your pocket right off the bat either. The Wallace Brothers Shows also provide the side-show attractions and are bring- ing with them some of the best eye- openers scen here in some time. It goes under the name of the Ten in One, which means that you get ten side show acts, freaks and what-have- you for the price of one admission. And even yet you're not through with the Wallace Brothers. After a while you'll find yourself finding parking space on the grandstand and from there you'll see numerous acts of vaudeville by a troupe of enter- tainers who can compare favourably with anything in this part of the hemisphere. * They're good--enough said. While we're dwelling on the grand- stand, it hardly seems necessary to say that the Ontario Regimental Band will be in attendance at all four grandstand . sessions--iwo on both Wednesday and Thursday, af- ternoon and .evening. The afternoon sce more vaudeville, band and fire- / 1 A E | | almost. PAGE TWENTY-ONE Years programs call for horseracing, the band and vaudeville, with a wonder- ful parade thrown in on the last afternoon, while the evenings will works--as many fireworks and as 00d as those to be seen at Canadian' Rational Exhibition, that is to say HAVE YOUR TIRES IN- SPECTED -- PERHAPS A STITCH IN TIME WILL SAVE THE PRICE OF A NEW TIRE But all "this, you say, is merely an improvement over 'the same || events of last year. Correct you are, but we aren't through with our story yet. We're saving the good things till last, 'Stay with us a few minutes longer until we take another trip - down the midway--there"s 2a couple of things we missed down there, First of all we neglected to state that about thirty sub-concessions are coming to the Fair along with the Wallace Brothers. These consist of kill the cats, spill the milks, hoop- lo's, and everything else under the sun that' goes to make a Midway, to say . nothing of the refreshment, booths, which mean hot dawgs, pop and ice cream shouted at various ranges 'along the octaves. Apart from) these concessions theré will be the usual local and nearby talent which will also provide games and refreshments' for all' and sundry. Passing from the * grandstand a little farther south you run into larger tents and a quieter aspect, It is here that the local dealers in auto- mobiles, trucks, radios, sewing ma- chines, stoves"n everything else hold forth, Everything is worth seeing, in fact you simply must see it if you want to say you've seen The Fair, Take it-all in and then pass into the Main and Women's Build- ings and see how the people of this district have made out with their various produce. Again, you must sce this if you're to see The Fair. And thus we could ramble on for several more columns but why waste any more time, or space? We could, for instance, point out that there will be some Horse Races at Oshawa Fair this year. Some of the best trotters and pacers in the country are coming to Oshawa next week, attracted by the assurance of an excellent track and also by the large $400 purses. "This in itself will be worth the 25 cents you paid at the gate but you've already seen what was worth twice your price of admis- sion so why worry? Suffice to say that.Oshawa Fair this year will be something which will be long remembered in the his- tory of the South Ontario Agricul- tural Society. Come once, come often, and bring the family.
