Fair Style Revue
Attracts Hundreds
Would Betsy Pike, pioneer wo
man of the Oregon Trail, ap
prove of today's fashions?
Evidently not, according to the
4-H style revue held at the Mor
row county fair on Thursday
evening, at the fair pavilion.
Over 300 people witnessed the
evening show which carried out
the fair's theme of "Centennial
Days" according to Esther Kir
mis. Morrow county extension
agent. The performance was
built around the story of the
Jewish peddler coming to visit
the pioneer woman, Betsy of
Pike, and showing her his wares.
A crystal ball was found among
his belongings and the peddler
proceeded to tell Betsy what
fashions would look like in 1959.
4-H girls enrolled in clothing
modeled their garments as the
1959 fashions. Complimen ting
them were 4-H girls, enrolled in
other than clothing, in Centen
nial costumes of 100 years ago.
