Krazy Daze Promotion Here Saturday

THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1960

Nyssa was host to one of the largest crowds in years Sat­
urday when merchants held Krazy Daze as the last day of
the annual Harvest Festival. No estimate was made of the
number of people but unofficially it was estimated larger
than turned out for the Wagon Train procession.
-------------------------------------- ♦ But whether it was the larg­
est crowd or not, it certainly
was one of the most active as
people were in and out of so

posted to see if they coincid­
with the number on their Jour­
nal, thus entitling them to valu­
prizes at ridiculously low
prices. They were moving from
street to street and from store to
store also to see the crazy garb
and antics put on by merchants
and clerks.
All business men who have
been contacted by the Journal
seem to be well pleased and rural
residents and townspeople seemed
to enjoy themselves.
Event Planned Next Year
A repeat performance is being
planned for another year with a
promise on the part of merchants
to make it bigger and better than
this year and to announce prizes
for field crops sooner than was
done this year.
Many merchants offered big
discounts on some items with oth­
ers offering storewide discounts
on all items for that one day.
With a few exceptions anyone
wanting to buy could get almost
everything at reduced prices Sat­
urday.
Merchants wish to thank the
junior band for their playing, all
school students for their partici­
pation in Krazy Daze by dressing
for it, and officials of Ken-L-Ra-
tion company for judging the dog
show and furnishing prizes. Also
all others who helped.
Number Winners Listed
Prizes awarded through lucky
numbers were as follows: Delbert
Cleaver, Nyssa, TV tray set from
Wilson Super market; Mrs. White-
head (address not known), giant
home laundry size of Tide from

Melvin Cottrell, Nyssa, car robe,
and Mrs. Herman Stroh, lace table
cloth, were both traded by Bob
Thompson for two copies of the
Gate City Journal. (The Journal
staff didn’t know the paper was
so valuable.)
Nyssa Motors auctioned a 1950
Ford they had advertised as a
$1.99 item to the lucky number
holder. It was sold to Jess Ha­
ney, Nyssa, for $51.
Ontario merchants held their
Harvest Festival on the same day
and Weiser sponsored a sidewalk
sale the same day as the Krazy
Daze promotion here or Nyssa
might have had an all-time crowd.
