Retiring Director Gefs Life Pass '63 Stephenson Fair Income Termed 'Best Ever'; One New Director Elected The 1963 Stephenson County Fair "was one of the most successful we have ever had from the standpoint of finances," members of the Stephenson County Fair Association were told at their annual meeting Saturday afternoon in the Farm Bureau building here. The comment was made by Clarence Scheider, Freeport, fair board president. Attendance at last year's fair totaled 71,000 persons, down slightly from the annual average of 75,000, Scheider reported. He added that proceeds from the fair were higher than income from other years. Reciepts from 1963 operations totaled $64,638.

Total expenditures were $57,225, plus $21,171 in capital improvements, Scheider said. New Director Richard Carroll, Freeport, was elected to the board of directors for one year. Manager of Radio Station WFRL, he succeeds John Van Deest as a representative of Freeport Chamber of Commerce. Van Deest, who did not seek re-election, recently retired after selling his interest hi a local oil company and is no longer affiliated with the chamber. Van Deest was a member of the first board of directors of the fair, organized in 1946, and served as treasurer several years.

In recognition of his many years of service, directors voted unanimously to present him with a lifetime courtesy pass to future Stephenson County fairs. Others Re-Elected All other officers and directors were re-elected to one-year terms. Officers are, in addition to President Scheider: Thomas Daley, Orangeville, vice president; Douglas Graves, Freeport; secretary; and Wayne Baughman, Freeport, treasurer.
