“Holiday” Lists
Azalea Festival
Brookings is placed prom ­
inently on at least one map
of the United States.
In the new magazine, “Hol­
iday," the Brookings Azalea
Festival is listed as one of
the six “outstanding events
in May” throughout the en­
tire United States.
The m agazine is in error,
however, in th a t it lists the
festival on May 5. The cor­
rect date for the event is
May 25. Nevertheless, it is
apparent th at the country is
beginning to sit up and take
notice of this community and
its activities.
(Unable to get a copy of
the magazine, the Pilot re­
p o rte r was able to get but a
glance at one. According to
W. S. Chadwick, at the news­
stand. only three copies of
“Holiday” were delivered to
the Brookings-Harbor area.
