PHOENIX, Aug. 26—Dates for the Sixteenth Annual Arizona State Fair will be November 8-13 inclusive according to announcement made by Shirley Christy, secretary of the State Fair Commission and the moving force behind the success of the 1919 fair.
Though it is difficult to predict this far in advance, the fair commission is confident that the attendance record will smash that set for last year and upward of 100,000 in 1920.
Educational features will be stressed in this year's exhibits, especially in agricultural, horticultural and animal husbandry displays and such co-operation is promised in the selection of superintendents at will insure fair ness in placing all entries.
Horse racing, automobile racing, cowboy stunts and other features will comprise the entertainment program.
Special efforts are being made to secure a strong running association for this year and predictions are that it will not be difficult in view of the justly famous Phoenix track on which nine-mile records, both horse and automobile, have been broken.
New features in the live stock will include an Americanization exhibit and a Vermont marble display, showing the rapid growth of that industry in this state.
The usual domestic art exhibit will attract housewives while the unusually large dog show will attract puppy fanciers.
No matter what you look for it will be found in the big fair, say the commissioners.
