NOTES ON
THE FAIR
The parade opening the North
western Alaska Fair and Mid
summer Festival on August 19.
is rapidly taking shape.
The commercial section will
feature floats or displays from
the Lomen Commercial Company,
Polet's Stores, Bun Marche, Leh
mann’s Store. Northern Light &
Power Co., B J. McConaghy,
John Lichtenberg and Nome Mot
ors. Other business concerns plan i
ning entries are the North Pole
Bakery, Wien Alaska Airlines,
and Larry Galvin. It is hoped that
other firms also will enter units
in the parade.
Today another section was add
ed to the Parada by O. S. Weav
er, director. Five and three doll
ar prizes will be given for the
best and funniest clowns to ap
pear in the procession. Those who
are funny should put on a suit
and compete for a prize.
With floats in the process of
preparation, private cars being
decorated, bicycles being trimmed
attractively and amusing stunts
being prepared, the parade is de
finitely a success already. There
will be further announcements
from time to time as new featur
es are added.
Nome is fast becoming cake
consciou. Mrs. C. F. Yenney, Sup
erintendent of the Home Econom
ics Division, is offering a special
prize of one dollar for the best
angel food cake displayed in the
Fair in addition to the other priz
es in this Lot.
Another special cake prize of
five dollars was offered today by
Larry Galvin for the best cake of
any kind. It must be baked with
a Magic Chef range, and Mr. Gal
vin takes possession of the prize
winning cake.
At a meeting called for tonight
the Camp Fire Girls will decide
just how to win from the Boy
Scouts, the first prize for the best
and most attractive float in their
section.
It is rumored that one of the
most attractively decorated bicy
cles in the parade will be ridden
by a well-known and prominent
member of the City Council.
PIONEERS ATTENTION
All Pioneers are requested to
meet on Saturday evening at 9 p.
m. at Polet’s Store for the pur
pose of making arrangements to
enter in the Fair Day Parade.
