World Fair Goal For 64 Pioneers
A Pricketts family arrived in Lawrence in two covered wagons en route from Amarillo to the New York World's Fair opening next April. They have traveled 750 miles since April 27, sleeping in wagons with a chuck wagon and prairie schooner, feeding chickens, and traveling about four miles per hour with two mule teams. Proceeds from any earnings at the fair will fund a Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch trust in Amarillo, with a lawyer handling the trust. The idea began as a joke about traveling across the country in a covered wagon.
