North Country Fair
March 1939

THE SIXTH ANNUAL North Country Fair, for the benefit of the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital, will be held in the Dartmouth gymnasium on Friday and Saturday, March 3 and 4. The entire gym will be given over to the indoor festival, which has become something of a major social occasion for the College, town and surrounding countryside.

The program for the two-day benefit includes a dance hall sponsored by the Interfraternity Council, with music by the Barbary Coast; a water sports carnival directed by Coach Sid Hazelton; a 1939 motor display; household exhibits; a midway of games; variety shows on the varsity basketball court; and intercollegiate sports contests scheduled for March 4. General admission to the gym will be free, with very few of the entertainment features inside costing more than a dime.
