played a trick on us, and as the day pro
gressed it becaino chillier and chillier
until the Bingo games which ’-ere going
good had to stop.
The children’s parade ras a little smaller
than we had anticipated. Hot near hll the
V- lley children were present as the parade
was not as large as the former one in'’45
