BOOSTERS VISIT
NEIGHB0R TOWNS
A Large Crowd Enjoys Run
to Leadvi||e, Red Cliff,
Eagle and Gypsum
RETURN WELL PLEASED

The trip to Red Cliff and Leadville
last Sunday was certainly a great sue
cess. The Glenwood boosters, including
Mayor Thorson and many prominent
citizens, were joined along the line by
about twenty-four others and by tho
time Leadville was reached the train
was carrying 21o pleasure seekers
Stops along the line were made at Gyp-
sum, Eagle, Minturn, Red Cliff and
Leadville.
The Glenwood band alighted at each
station and played number of selee-
tions. At Eagle the entire party, heal
ed by the band, marched around the
business portion of the city and at one
of the squares concert was given by
the band. On the return trip to Red
Cliff the ball game was followed by
another band concert and it goes with
out saying that the Glenwood band was
one of the attractions of the trip.
The Leadville band turned out to
greet the visitors at that place and
after lunch the party returned to Red
Cliff where a game Of baseball was
played, the score standing one to moth
ing in favor of Red Cliff, and after
supper = tired but thoroughly happy
crowd returned to their various homes.
The booster committee consists of C. R.
Mccarthy, H. G. Overlook and Carls:.
ton Hubbard. Those gentlemen are live
wires and are doing what they can 20
improve and advertise this section Of
the western slope. All aiong the line
they distributed strawberry Day adver
tising dodgers and invited the people
to attend Glenwood's famous Straw
berry Day on June II.

neighboring towns to "get acquainted"
and to boost for their home town. Con-
sequently there was NO forma program
