Road checks made by the Al
aska Road Commission1 at Mat
anuska, bridge, Glenn highway,
Wasilla road and Matanuska
road, indicated that at least 45,
000 persons were in the valley
vicinity during the 15th annual
Matanuska Valley Fair.
Outstanding exhibits were dis
played by the valley’s many 4-H
members; bigger and better live
stock, poultry, rabbits, and swine
exhibits were seen this year; and
in spite of wind damage suffer
ed by many gardens, flowers and
vegetable exhibits drew the fav
orable attention of fair-goers.
The new exposition building
where most of the commercial
displays were housed drew the
largest number of spectators.
During the peak hours of the
Fair the building was packed,
shoulder to shoulder, by specta
tors who were given free samples
of many products and an oppor
tunity to register for prizes.
Department supervisors, who
donate the many hours of work
required to make a Fair a big
success, deserve much credit for
the excellent displaying of ex-J
hibits. Many of the supervisors
have given their time year after
year—among these are Mrs. Har
old Dinkle of Wasilla who has
worked with the Fair since its
beginning; Lila Newville in cul
inary, another long-time worker;
Mrs. Archie Moffitt in home cai>
ning, Bill Hoskins who did an
outstanding job in livestock; Mrs.
Henry LaRose in dairy products,
Lou Hanks, vegetables and gras
ses and 4-H work, Marylou Ride
out, 4-H and Homemakers work;
George Crowthers, farm displays;
members of the Matanuska Val
ley Sportsmen organization; the
Palmer Garden Club; Betty Jo
Riddle in educational displays
and help in other divisions; Es
ther Kirsch, homemakers booths;
Walter Phillips, philately, Mrs.
Marty Sherman, homemakers’
sale booth, and the many addi
tional individuals who assisted
the fair board before, during, and
after the Fair.
Those receiving awards in the
queen contest tickets sales were:
Claire Isaason, Palmer, deep
freeze; Ann Baum, Anchorage,
television set; Anchorage Cold
Storage, outboard motor; Roy
Goff, Palmer, month’s supply
groceries; Avis Van Valkenburg,
