Redwood Falls is prepared to
handsomely the biggest
July 4 crowd ever gathered in the
city.
While the size of the crowd is
as difficult to estimate before as
after, the guesses run to $4,000
and plans are being made to ac-
that many.
The program, which begins with
a parade at 9 a. M, has been ar
ranged so that several things are
at once during a great
share of the day, dividing the
crowd and relieving congestion.
The spacious fairgrounds grand
stand, the proximity of 1873 acre
Ramsey park, the natural amphi-
theatre Of the lake shore and num-
erous other places will allow the
crowds to witness the excitement
in comparative comfort.
Although all work on the new
bridge parkway except landscap-
ing and the construction of curbs
and cutters in the alley behind
Closz-Holmberg's garage, will be
completed Friday, the bridge high
way and approaches will not be
open to automobile traffic July A.
The newly poured sidewalks will
be ready for pedestrian traffic,
however, facilitating travel to the
dedication ceremonies which will
be held on the speakers stand
erected at the east end of the
bridge.
Legionnaires and Boy Scouts
will act as guides and help keep
order if necessary. A large num-
ber of officials have been selected
to see that each event on the pro-
gram takes place on time, allow
ing the crowds to get from one
event to another with the assuran-
ce that there will be no waiting.
A majority of the business plac-
es will be closed the entire day,
excepting eating places and few
others including the Redwood Thea
tire which will run a continuous
show during the day with change
of program at 6:30 p. m. All
