Indian Fair Set
At Cherokee Oct. 2

CHEROKEE, N. C.—The 45th annual Cherokee Indian Fair, which is unique in the United States because it is solely an Indian production and the exhibits and prize events are limited to Indian competition, will be held here October 2 through 6. Jarratt B. Blythe, president of the Cherokee Indian Fair Association announced this week.

The Fair brings the members of the Qualla Reservation together in a harvest festival which gives the visitor an accurate picture of life in present day Indian communities. Since its organization in 1914, the event has outgrown the limits of a small community exhibition, and now is ranked in interest and importance as equal to the best county and regional fairs in this part of the South.
