INTRODUCTION

The Board of Directors of the Cleveland County Free Fair Association takes pleasure in presenting herewith the Premium List. Rules and Regulations governing the Annual Free Fair, to be held at the Cleveland County Fair Grounds, 615 E. Robinson, Norman, OK.

The Cleveland County Fair Board welcomes all Cleveland County residents young and old to exhibit and attend the Cleveland County Free Fair.

Every effort is being made by the board to make this a successful fair with a large number of quality exhibits, plenty of entertainment and a place for you to meet your friends. With your cooperation, we believe that a very successful fair can be held this year which will not only have an educational value, but will also assist in maintaining the morale of Cleveland County farmers, 4-H and FFA Club members and encourage the production of more and better quality food products.

This catalog, including the premium list for this year's Cleveland County Free Fair, is being printed previous to final action on the Cleveland County Free Fair estimate by the County Commissioners and the Cleveland County Excise Board. This catalog is being issued, therefore, with the distinct understanding that is, for any reason what ever, sufficient funds are not available to pay in full premium and awards as listed, the Cleveland County Fair Board reserves the right to prorate premiums on a percentage basis. The attention of all exhibitors is especially called to this condition and provision and exhibits are accepted only with definite understanding.

It is the purpose of the Board of Directors to do everything that is possible to make this Free Fair a success and to add to the comforts, pleasures and convenience of the visitors and exhibitors who attend. The Free Fair Association earnestly solicits your support and your cooperation in making this fair a success, as no other factor does more to stimulate and improve farm condition than agricultural fairs, where one may observe the improvements of farm crops and animals and compare them with their own.

To boost attendance, we encourage you to bring exhibits. It's this type of support that makes for a successful FAIR.
