Mrs. George Steinman, Secretary, The Audubon 
Society of Park Ridge, works in a booth at the 
Des Plaines Outdoor Show, May 31 - June I, 1966. 
IT'S FAIR TIME! 
By Walter Vogl 
To spread interest in conservation and to build membership in your local 
bird or outdoor club (or The Illinois Audubon Society) — consider setting 
up a display booth at your County Fair, Outdoor Show, Garden Club, 
Flower Show, etc. You will find that convention organizations will be 
pleased to have you add a fresh outdoor touch to their meeting. The subject 
of birds and wildlife appeals to almost everyone. 
Consider selling literature, bird houses, field cards, and other bird study 
items. Indicate that the proceeds will be used for a good conservation cause. 
Even if visitors will not buy, they will spend more time in your booth. Write 
to the LA.S. Education Committee, 997 Lee Street, Des Plaines, Ill., for ideas. 
If you have some publicity or money-making suggestions of your own, 
share them with us.
