Many volunteers built a half-mile race track, ticket office, secretary’s office, judges stand, foundations for a 60 x 36 ft. exhibit building, a poultry building and prepared livestock sheds.  At the annual meeting in 1931, Mr. Samual Rollins was thanked for the fine gift to the Society of a beautiful building intended for the display and competitions of fruit, dairy products and roots.
