Farmers Come For Grange Week

Many Came This Morning and More Will Be Here Tomorrow and Wednesday

Buffalo Evening News, August 27, 1901

Grange week at the Pan-American Exposition opened Monday with an influx of farmers from every section of the Empire State. The special excursions were unloaded at the railroad gate and fully two dozen more are promised for tomorrow and the next day - Wednesday - Grange Day.

Headquarters for Grange week have been established in the Grange building, a one-story structure of staff, located on the Mall, just east of the Dairy building, and near the East Amherst gate. The building is plainly, but well-furnished, and nobody need mistake it for in addition to letters of flaring red, a full-sized plow surmountsthe front portico, announcing to all that is the home of the Pan-American farmer.

The committee has established in the Grange building and also at points outside the grounds a special rooming bureau, through which members of the Grange may secure rooms at reasonable rates and within easy access from the grounds.

The programme for Wednesday at the Temple of Music has already been announced. Daniel N. Lockwood, Pan-American Commissioner for New York State, Director-General Buchanan, Frank A. Converse, Superintendent of Live Stock, E.B. Norris, president of the State Grange, and others will speak. In the afternoon of Wednesday, there will be Grange sports in the Stadium.
