Red Cross benefit draws crowd despite cold winds
The county Red Cross benefit at the lakefront park over Friday and Saturday raised limited funds as cool weather kept many away. Arthur Pfeiffer, general manager, projected under $400 for two days with about $99.50 from the Friday ticket office. Saturday night showed better returns from the show and a small auction net of $15.50. Concessions underperformed due to the chill, but the entertainment, including Pat Pfeiffer’s performances and Dorothy Dayton’s dances, pleased attendees. Organizers included Mrs. Charles D. Center as chair and several committees led by Mrs. J A S Ehart and Mrs. Maida Lee Fosgate with C Arthur Pfeiffer.
