Matanuska Maid Members, Employees
Hold Annual Picnie at Barry’s Resort
I he members and employees
of Matanuska Maid, with their
families, enjoyed their annual
summer picnic Saturday, July
20 at Barry's resort. Over
300 people assembled shortly
after 6 p.m. with ideal weather
conditions and beautiful sur
roundings to add to the enjoy
ment of games and the delici
ous picnic dinner.
The young folks swam, boat
ed and played volleyball and
softball.
With grim determination,
the horse shoe players lined
up to determine the best pitch
er in the valley. After a full
evening of games, Daryl Boh
man and Coy Bailey walked
off with the prizes.
In the softball game between
the employees and the mem
bers, the employees emerged
victorious after four hard
fought innings. Manager Stew
art A. Durrant acted as umpire
in this game and there was
some question by both sides as
to the accuracy of his eyesight
after the game was over. Ask
Ray Rebarcheck!
Helen Eckman, new baby
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Le
Roy Eckman, was the youngest
in attendance, and Mr. and
Mrs. M. D. Snodgrass carried
off the prize for having stood
the ups and downs of the co
operative the greatest number
of years.
The food was never better
nor in greater abundance.
Everyone left late in the eve
ning expressing appreciation
for a wonderful time and look
ing forward to a repeat per
formance at the annual picnic
next summer.
