Not a Howling Success at Firemen's Fair
The firemen's fair ended Saturday night with net proceeds around 3000, far short of expectations. Forty percent more was hoped, but most money came from the firemen themselves. attendance was low outside volunteers and workers. Key figures like Ex-Chief P J Hickey and treasurer Charles H Miller are credited for efforts, while General Manager McQuivey organized the event. Remaining items moved to the Stover building for a bazaar on Wednesday and Saturday evenings, with final contest results to be announced later.
