Calf   To   Start   Fund   Drive
Pictured above is George Pal¬ mer, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Palmer of Rural Route, Huntley. George is holding a calf owned by Jim Martines, also of Huntley, which will be given away at the Black and White Show to be held on July 5, at the McHenry Coun¬ ty fair grounds in Woodstock.
This picture was taken at the antique show held by the Mc¬ Henry County Home Bureau.
The 4-H Federation and the Farm Bureau will sponsor this Black and White Show, the pro¬ ceeds of which will go towards building permanent buildings at the McHenry County fair grounds.
The fair grounds themsalves came nto existence in 1947 when Haby McConnell, then a member of the McHenry County Board of Supervisors, made a motion to es¬ tablish them so that the young agricultural minded people of the area might have a place to shOw the goods which they had culti¬ vated during the preceding year. Since that tjme, a few permanent buildings have been built on the grounds. However, it is the con¬ sidered opinion of the managers of tho McHenryl County Junior Fair that more permanent build¬ ings should be built.
