Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1915-07-08
Lower Payette Valley

The large crowds from Sunnyside,
Crystal and Wood Spur who attend
ed the Fourth of July celebration in
Payette, We're unanimous in their
decision that it was the best ever
held in that town. From the parade
in the morning until the pavilion
dance in the evening there was
not one dull moment. This proves
conclusively that dry" town can
have celebration of the very best
kind. One feature of the day that
was appreciated by the country folks
was the many conveniences provided
for them in the way of rest rooms,
benches and chairs on the streets
| for the weary mothers and an
abundance of lemonade for the
kiddies These acts of thoughtfulness
all help to bring the farmer and the
business men closer together. One
OF our men helped to win the prize
| in the ''tug-of-war" and he spent
the cash prize before he left town.
One of our boys won the prize in
the ''Hoptea Hush" contest and stay
ed until he spent his money; one OF
the girls who is spending the sum-
mer at Wood Spur secured second
prize in the girls pony race and
she, too, stayed in town till she
spent the $500 cash prize. The type
of farmer, that Nels Darling des-
cribed as leaving the town celebra-
ton, hugging himself and saying,
well, they didn't get much out Of
me this Fourth" does not live in
the Payette Valley.
The first carload of box stuff for
