Tuck Commerce Journal - Reprinted in Hopkins County Echo, Aug. 29, 1924 (Edited) District Fair begins at the City Park next Wednesday, Sept. 3rd and continues thru the 6th. Several car loads of Commerce fair boosters were out Tuesday scouting around in the northern part of the county and parts of Delta county advertising the fair and arranging for the fair. The two new buildings are completed and workmen are now busy making the coops and booths for exhibition purposes. By the end of this week every detail will be ready for the opening day of the fair. Exhibits should be on the ground early Wednesday morning. Each night their will be a good program and plenty of entertainment to be had on the fair grounds. The first two days will be featured by a red hot baseball game by full-blood Seminole Indians. Game played at City Park in the afternoon. At night the Indians will give a stomp dance. They will also head the parade the first day of the fair. Friday afternoon the feature of the entertainment will be the "Old Fiddlers Contest," in which real fiddlers of corn husking days will supplant the violinists of modern days. Admission to the fair grounds will only be 10 cents. This makes the fair accessible to every man, woman and child in the district.
