Dunbar The Rough and Ready Secession Days Celebration held Sunday, July 2, was a large success with a crowd of approximately 1500 attending the festivities. Chairman Bill Thomas was very pleased with the turn-out. Program Chairman HelenAvery put on several different events, among them the secession play which was given twice during the day. One of the most hilarious events was the mock wedding, typical of the year 1850. The unfortunate groom, who just happened to already have a family, made a hasty retreat when said family made their appearance on the scene. There was alsoan old fashioned vigilante-style hanging of an outlaw, which added color to the program. Jon Pharis and Linda Burkhard were crowned King and Queen of the Twister Contest. Presentation of awards forthe best and most authentic costumes went to Mrs. Sue Fay who was wearing a striped knitted bathing suit of the 1850's, and to Mr. Peter Rocco for the man's costume. Dora Grieme, in a dance hall costume, and Bill Thomas as "Miner Whiskey Pete" were also most interesting and quite authentic. Mr. "Monty" Jones was the organizer of the highly successful horseshoe pitching contest. He happens to be a winner of a championship , contest recently held in Los Gatos. Mr.Clarence Treadway organized impromptu groups of four who changed about and kept music appropriate for the occasion going all during the day. Introduction of the pioneer families still living in the area included Maude Calvert, Manuel Alameda, Asa Fippin, Sid Fippin, Manuel Frank, Mrs. Effie Howell and Mrs. Martina Paull. The Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary proved to be a popular stop with all the homemade goodies for sale. Also the Lucky Strike Saloon where one could be refreshed with a tall, Cou drink.
