LIEVSTOCK EXPOSITION REPORT FROM BETTY WilSON, CHAIRMAN
·v rell, gang, it 1 s all ovod! l It '\~Tas a long, long week, but I must say that
I enjoyed every minute of it ~ and it was swell seeing so many of you again.
For those of you who couldn't. make it by the booth I must tell you that we
met with many problems. VI e ~rere very crowded and the noise from the Jerry
VanDyke show was killinf!, (after hearing it 15 times we're going along as
his stand- ins) , BUT- -the reception the crowds gave us was marvelous. Our
booth, though crowded , was very attract ive and our gifts were far superior
to anything else on tbe showgrounds . We didn't sell as much as we had hoped
but the publici ty was terrifi c . We had radio spots every 30 minutes for the
last few days; some newspaper coverage and tlfro TV appearances. Thousands of
peopl e wer e gi ven l i teratur e and l iterally hundreds asked questions about
Harding. I l'ras surpri sed t o find many people right here in our state had
never heard of Hard ing- -not e I said had because they have now! Every item
we s ol d had a label on i t which readl'i"Made By Associated Women For Harding. 11
This we did so that they would r emember the name even after they got home.
All the items that were left have been divided on a percentage basis by
donations. And as I wrote each persident, these items can be picked up
in Searcy. The following formula for redistributions was used.

I' m sure ynu r emember the magic tops t n sell at 25¢. They were a flnp at
the fair so each chapter wi ll receive 180 each. We sent 1,000 to Searcy and
hal f of those were to be given to the Harding Academy t~ be used in their
Fall Carnival . We kept 1 , 000 in LR bec ause we have prospects 1-rho may want
t purchase l ar ge quantit ies and we fe lt 111e could get the money back faster
in thi s manner. In selling them r ememb er we paid only 7¢ each and any
amount over this is easy profit.
I'm enclosing for your future reference, and as a guide to what might sell
better at future gift fairs, a complete list of all items donated, the
number left and the price originally set. In some cases these prices were
altered but no item >-ras reduced when chapters r equested otherwise. This may
not be a true ind i cat i on as some was lost by theft and handling, I ' m sure ,
it might serve as a guide . Some of the beanbags had been torn in handling .
It seems th nse stuffed with rice , while more popular, split more eas ily
because the sharp edges cut the seams.

This is abnut all with the exception of a few suggestions for next year:
1.
2.
3.
Limit the number of different items to 5 (We had too much to see)
Due to transportation and cost of passes, I strongly suggest that
one chapter operate the booth. The BoPrd of LR chapter has assured
me we would take this as an annual project (because of proximity)
i f this meets approval. We vJould like all chapters to cooperate in
making items, and credit vJould be given accordingly. (I'll 'tv-rite
more about this later.)
Limit total expected profit to $1,000 which would mean we would need
around 1,200 items to sell.
I really enjoyed serving as your chairman and ag§in I say AWH has the
BEST group I have ever worked with in any project. God Bless Each of You.

~ J ilSON,
Livestock Show Chairman 1966:
The enclosed report of y our as s i gnment as chairman of the
A1JIH booth at the Livestock Exposition is only one of the proofs
of the quality of job you have done for our organization.
~~Ihile
T..fe know that any organization functions only because
eNery member make s it so, He also realize that there must be
some leadership and extra effort put forth at various times.
In this capacity you have exceeded Hhat any of us could have
desired in
think~ng; p1a~ning
and executing the AWH booth.
Probably none of us could imagine the time you have
given--even to taking a week off during the fair to oversee
the sale.
Probably none of us realizes the extent of llork
you have done.
But all of us are so grateful for having a member like
you--one who so well exemplifies the service our organization
is trying to render.
To you, Betty , all of us extend a warm and since r e
"Thank You" and we >vant you to kno"T that >ve appreciate you
in ev ery way .
Your 700 fellow members from the 13 chapters
