The Redwood gazette., 1935-07-11
LARGEST CROWD
EVER seen HERE
ENJOYS FOURTH
Guesses Range From 10000
To $4,000; Gazette
Estimates 10000

Persons from IA states, pro-
vince of Canada and practically
every city and hamlet in south
western Minnesota were registered
at the Gazette information booth
July 4.
Approximately 1900 persons
signed their names, including
those listed below, some from Red.
wood Falls which were considered
in awarding prizes but are not
printed here and others which 1t
was impossible to transcribe.
Registrations from Scotland, the
South Sea Isles and Timbuktu
were regarded as phoney but those
from Illinois. Wisconsin, Tennes-
see, Texas, Missouri, Nebraska,
North and South Dakota, Georgia,
Iowa, Washington, New York and
Montana appear to be tourists or
persons visiting relatives in the
community who spent the day
here.
Estimates of the crowd ranged
from 10000 to 50,000-perhaps
higher-the majority agreed on
one thing, that it was the larges,
in the city's history.
The Gazette's estimate is 10000
based on these figures: grandstand
$500 (packed), fair grounds other
wise, $500; park at same time,
1000; downtown sametime, 1000;
kittenball and picnicking on lawns,
1000. This give a total of $4,000
for one time and any number may
be added to it for an estimate of
those who were here for short
periods during other times of the
day.
1t was the concensus that every
one had a good time and was well
satisfied with the free program
and the city's hospitality. One
man from Franklin was reported
to have said he read that every
thing was free and couldn't believe
it. "Here l am," he remarked late
in the afternoon, GIVE been to the
ball game, l saw the races from
the grandstand, 1 watched a dozen
ether things and by gosh it's true.
Everything is FREE"
The Gazette information booth
did a rushing business in free pro-
gram-souvenir editions. Over 5000
were given out.
