BUILDING FOR HEALTH EXHIBIT REST ROOM AT COUNTY FAIR
Three Organizations Unite for Construction of Exhibit Building and Rest Room at Fair Grounds
Under arrangements completed this week, the Rock County Chapter of American Red Cross, the Rock County Public Health association and the Rock County Agricultural society will jointly erect a building at the fair grounds for use of public health exhibits and as a rest room during the fair. The plans call for a building 20x24 feet, of arrangement suitable to the purpose for which it is to be utilized, and the cost will be $600, one-third of which will be borne by each of the three societies named.
Heretofore it has been customary to rent a tent for the public health exhibit and rest room. This has not only been very unsatisfactory from every standpoint, but has been an expensive way of supplying a place of exhibit and rest room. A check of the situation showed that the rental saved could pay the cost of the new building in a few years, and at the same time provide much better facilities.
The building will be completed in time for use during the coming fair, Sept. 10th to 13th, and will make a noticeable addition to the buildings at the fairgrounds.
Donations to the Rock County Historical Society can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O. Box 741, Luverne, MN 56156.
