building on June 27 lo make
some preliminary plans.
The style revue, one of the
highlights or the 4 II fair, has
grown in such popularity that
the fair pavilion no longer holds
the number of Interested people
who wish to attend. We visited
the Umatilla county fair at Her
mlston last year and saw them
stage an outdoor revue It gave
us Ideas!
Tentative plans are to erect
platform in front of the east side
of the rodeo stands. Stage dec
orations and lighting are still
In the talking stage. All-in-all
this will prove an Interesting
and outstanding affair. Now, If
oldmanvveather will cooperate!
We also met with the com
mittee of Pine City people who
are going to make the -1 11 float
lor the fair.
Meeting at the Leo Ash bock
home on June 22 were Mr. and
Mrs. Weldon Witherrito, Mr. and
Mrs. Wlllard French, Mr. and
Mrs. George Lulanl, and Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Daly members of
the committee.
Tiey have made big plans to
produce a float currying out the
411 motif and "Soaring 60V
theme. They're even talking of
entering the float In the Pendle
Ion Hound l' dies up parade,
This will also be a -First."
The I II booth committee, made
up of Mrs. (Jene Cutsforth, Mr.
John Lc!lwtcr. and Mrs. Dean
Hunt, all of Ixlngtoii, Is ached
' ling meeting on July II, to
