1928 PRINCESS OF
SHERIDAN COUNTY
TELLS OF EXPERT
ENCE AT HELENA


MIR. Charles Z. Taylor, Editor,
THE PRODUCERS NEWS,
PlentywOOd, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Taylor:
| noticed in your last issue of
the Producers News that you are
again taking up the contest for
the, "Princess-ship" of Sheridan
County, at the Montana State
Fair, this fall.
The trip is certainly well worth
the time one spends IN getting
th3 subscriptions and renewals.
| did not realize when l entered
the contest last fall that l was
going to win as great a prize as /
did. The program had been adj
Vertised to quite an extent, but
like every other trip, the adver-
Using doesn't mean as much to
one who is unacquainted with the
entertainments of the trip as it
does TO one who has already en-
jOyed them, so | dared not expect
too much. But no matter what
3 one expected, they could not have
been disappointed.
= 1t seems that Helena and its
committeeman and club women
had nevsr heard of the High
Cost of Living" Absolutely moth
ing was spared to make the Prin-
: cesses enjoy themselves in every
way. The entire week was Just
one round of pleasure.
We arrived In Helena Tuesday
: noon and were met by the chap
. erOnes who took us to the home
of the famous Sen. Walsh, whose
home had been re-Opened just for
us. At 1900 we were entertain
ed at a Placer Hotel Luncheon
by the management OF The New
York Store. The members of the
WOman's Club were hCstesses at
. . reception at the Y. w. G. A.
from $500 to $500. We had din
ner with the students and facul-
ty of Wesleyan College at Mills
Hall at $50 and enjoyed the car
niYal shows, etc, at the fair
grounds in the evening, having
been taken there by the two Vel
lOwstOne Park busses which had
+ been sent to Helena by Harry w.
Child.
Wednesday noon, We were
guests of the Rotary at Lunch
. con at the Placer Grill and took
in the Fair in the afternoon.
Thursday, we visited the Cap
= itOl and were entertained at the
= executive mansion by Miss Vir-
ginia Dixon. That afternoon, we
= elected our Queen" and in the
= evening, she was crowned by Gov
= ernOr Dixon at the Coronation
= Ball.
Friday morning we enjoyed a
plunge in BTOadwater and at noon
we were taken to the All-MOn-
tana Breakfast at the Montana
Club. After the Fair in the af-
telmOOn, we were entertained By
the WOman's Division of the Com
mercial Club at the Country
Club. From the Country Club,
we went to the Shrine Temple to
enjoy a vaudeville show, and then
we went to the Placer Hotel for a
few dances.
Friday night some of the girls
left for their homes but most of
them did not leave until Saturday
morning.
Badges were given the girls as
soon as they arrived in Helena
so all week the girls wore these
. badges and when at a dinner or
a dance, persons introduced them
selves to you, thus removing the
aWkwardness a stranger would
otherwise feel.
The gifts which were left at
the house and given to us on our
trips down town, were many, in
Guiding flowers, chocolates, pic-
lures, and music. Wherever YOU
turned there was some form of
greeting for the Processes Of the
different counties.
1t is impossible to mention the
many things which were done for
us by the people of Helena and
= our chaperOnes. They did all in
their power to see that our visit
: in Helena was q most enjoyable
= one and any advertising you may
> do cannot possibly exceed the &C.
tual enjoyment one gets out oil
= the princess of Sheridan COun
= ty" trip.
Is am sure that the girl who i:
fortunate enough to win the triI
this year will agree with me il
all that l have written here anC
perhaps enlarge on it a grea
deal, because the Fair Association
is trying to make each year bet
ter than the last although there i.
little room for improvement, anC
l am sure she will never regre
the work she did which made sucI
a trip possible.
Sincerely yours,
ALMA HELLAND HANSEN
