SIJ.00 Welcome, Rockhounds I Once again we take this opportunity to welcome visitors from many parts of the United States and Canada, as Rockhounds gather for Nyssa's tenth annua) Thunderegg Days. To our visitors we extend greetings from Nyssa and Treasure Valley residents, and know that you will find the kind of hospitality and friendliness typical of our part of the country. You will find Nyssa merchants and their staffs cordial and well-equipped to take care of your every need, and ail of our service people are ready to serve you if needed. To our local residents, we remind you that our visitors are very interesting people, and most of them have been all over the country in search of rocks and gems. The fact that so many return each year to Nyssa speaks well for our area, and it is worth your time to get acquainted with them. The Nyssa Lions Club will again host the barbecue Thursday evening, and this is always one of the best dinners served anywhere, with the tasty beef cooked over the pit and served with our fresh golden corn. On Friday evening the ice cream social put on by the Methodist Church is another enjoyable event. Ice cream, cake and good fellowship is a combination just as popular today as it was in the early days of this community. A new event this year is the watermelon feed Saturday night, put on by the Nyssa JayCees. Stop by these feeds before going to the rock show in the old gym. Excellent exhibits are displayed, and a visit with the tailgate» is also a rewarding experience, with rocks and gems displayed from all parts of the country. The Sports Boosters will again hold their carnival Thursday and Friday evenings, with proceeds going to bolster the high school athletic programs. Started last year, this event proved very popular, and the opportunity to dunk some well-known citizen in the tank is irresistable. Games of chance and skill make for an enjoyable time. So once again we welcome our vishon.and hope that your stay in Nyssa is both enjoyable and profitable, and that you will come back again in future yean.

Although 1 have been away for a great many years. I still call it home and I guess I always will. 1 thought the following might be of some interest to the real oldtimers. Do you remember In the winter time, hooky bobbing betnd wagons as they pulled down main Street? Skating down the old Wilson Ditch all the way to Arcadia Lake? Going over the Snake River Badge into Idaho to coast on the slopes of the foothills? In the summer time, walkingout to the "Big Ditch** to go swimming? 1 think our favorite spot was just above the old Gibson farm. —And. maybe helping ourselves to some fruits from the orchard on the way back to town? Playing hooky the first warm day of spring to go swimming in the Snake River Slough? As youngsters picking up a few dollars driving derrick during the summer time? These are just a few of my many memories of my childhood days in Nyssa. I have lots more that I like to recall. It was a good place to grow up in. 1 just couldn't resist including the above in my letter. I hope that I haven't made a bore of myself in recounting the above. Sincerely. Harry F. Leuck. LCDR, USN (Ret.). 43426 Lindenwood St., Fremont.
