STREET FAIR NEXT WEEK
There will be something doing in
Sewickley next Week, when the Amer-
* H: ican Legion Post puts on its street
carnival as a, means of assisting in the
purchase of its new home on Broad
Street, and bright lights, gay booths,
band concerts, whirling merry-go-round
and Ferris wheel will provide a scene
of gaiety and fun for everybody. Five
evenings, beginning next Tuesday, the
affair will be the central attraction for
all* and Saturday afternoon as Well.
And on Saturday we'll all turn out to
give a hospitable welcome to the forty
or fifty fire companies with their gleaming apparatus which are to come as
cur guests from all over Western Pennsylvania and form a parade well worth
seeing. Stores up and down the street
will be decorated and made especially
attractive in honor of this midsummer
madness, and it will be home-coming
week for many of the loyal former
residents of the Valley who like to come
back for a brief visit on such an occasion. Everybody wishes the Legion
boys well in their enterprise, and all
will enter with a right good will in
helping the fun along.
Band concerts by the Sewickley
American Legion Band will be given
on Broad street on Tuesday, Friday
and Saturday evenings; the band will
also be in line in the firemen's parade
Nine silver cups are to be given as
prizes for the visiting fire companies.
They can be seen in Campney's window this week. There is one for the
company having the largest number of
men in line; one for the one coming the
greatest distance; One for the best
equipped hook and ladder truck, heavy
duty size; one for the best heavy duty
combination truck; best equipped light
duty hook and ladder; best equipped
light duty combination truck; best
appearing band; and best appearing
drum corps.
The new building, which is to bc
fixed up and adapted to the Legion's
use immediately, is admirably suited
to the purpose. It is the former Dickinson school building, almost opposite
the Dorian Club, which has been of
no use to the Sewickley Academy since
it moved into its present quarters in
Edgeworth, and which has now been
conveyed to the Legion on easy terms.
Its large rooms and pleasant surroundings make it ideally suited to the Post's
needs, and the organization and the
community as Well are gratified to have
the Post located in a builidng worthy
of it and of the town.
