VAIL ITEMS !;
The Vail Park Opening June 1s, 1870

van pSopiS are AudhlllS dIIduSS-
ments to have one OF the largest cele-
brations ever held in Vail in honor of
the opening of the park. Years ago
the Iowa Railroad Land company To-
mated to the town of Vail several acres
OF land, to be used for park. In due
time trees We're planted, gravel walks
We're made and quite an outlay of
money was spent to insure Vail hav-
ing park. For the last six or seven
years very little was done in the way
of improvements of the grounds, but
this spring the people of Vail woke up
to the fact that the trees had grown
large enough to make good shade and
all they lacked was to be trimmed and
shaped up and the brush removed and
they vent to work and did the work
up in good shape.
The Commercial club of Vail took it
in hand and called the ladies of the
town to help them and June the eish-
teenth was fixed as the date to cele-
brate. A fine band stand was built.
seats and tables are being placed in
convenient places and city water will
be furnished free and everything inl.-
Gates big time. Everything in the
way of amusements and music will he
free. Refreshments will be served for
small fee. Everyone is invited
