Public Notice Public Notice Around About Cont. from page 4 Did you all see the not-quite-finished 45th Anniversary quilt that their family and friends are putting together for Edna and Harold "Shorty" Peck? It ranks among some very special quilts made in the county, such as the three old "name" quilts from Heppner, Lexington and lone and the Bicentennial quilt which hang in our County Museum. Most of this year's organizational booths were very good. The small, corner rodeo booth that Faye Seitz masterminded was surely worth of its blue ribbon. Faye collected many interesting rodeo items old pictures and treasured articles used by past performers. Among those who loaned precious items was Inez Erwin who loaned Harold's hat and various equipment which he had used as a performer, announcer and several times as grand marshal. Some small difficulties related to the matter of peoples' age cropped up last week. I goofed by writing that senior citizens were those 55 or older. The 55 age holds for some activities such as the senior dinners, but not for fair passes which state on them "62 years old and over." Sometimes and in some places 60 is the magic number, other times and places it is 65. The U.S. government says we may work until 70 without being forced to retire it is pretty confusing to really know when one is truly a senior citizen. On Sunday afternoon, young people eager to get rich quick in the coin hunts needed to be sure of the three different age groups that were eligible. Fair Committee Chairperson Delpha Jones was called upon to state the age rules. I can't report how rich anyone got maybe the IRS will tell us later. My 11-year-old grandson was mighty disappointed to learn that the coin scramblers had to be under 10 years old. With the three rodeos and the big Saturday morning parade led by Grand Marshal Cornett Green still to come the residents of Morrow County are again demonstrating that they can accomplish so much when they get their many and widely assorted talents working together.
