These facts being now generally understood, it behooves public spirited and ‘live wire’ citizens thruout northwestern North Dakota to feel a personal responsibility in making The Northwest Fair a continuing and enlarging success. If this result is to be realized it must be thru the united efforts of a great many men and women and boys and girls.

Why We Chose It
What an extraordinarily different attitude we had toward the fair back then. Today, we expect it to deliver to us exactly what we want. Long gone for most is the notion that they have any responsibility to it at all. We should mourn the loss of this spirt of citizenship and community responsibility generally among the public and celebrate it wildly when we see the rare instances of it today.
