The children were entertained by the local talent of the McPherson Avenue Players. The play, “The Last of the Dragons”, starred Sally Flynn, John Hart, Cal Stuart and Ed Stout, and was directed and produced by Bea Stout.
The committee consisted of Art Santen, Kitty Buckley, Rick Bender and Lucy and Boyd Morros. Our thanks to Steve Santen for designing and hand-printing the R-S name-tags and Peggy O’Brien for donating the balloons.
Adults following their wee “treaters” were offered coffee and doughnuts on the barriers.
