This show which has brought In some of the
worlds leading celebrities samples this Actor
Gene Barry, who plays Bat Masterson TV, and
Secretary of the Interior Fred Seaton), has done
more than anything else could do for our area"
Mr.. Scully declares.
Those who participate well as those who
watch spend a great deal in our restaurants and
other public places" agrees Harry F. Byrd, ir-
newspaper publisher, State legislator Festival d.
rector and the of Festival founder (Virginia's
senior SENATOR, but doubt If this means much
during the two-three days of the event itself.
Its the return busineSS-from those who like
well enough to come back again and again
that really helps" -
C. F. Schenck, food wholesaler and Festival
veteran, adds: I'VE want folks to stay much longer
than the show lasts Too many come down from
Washington one morning. eat lunch, see a parade
and pageant, then fight their way through heavy
traffic and say they've seen the Shenandoah
Valley.
But they haven't. The Valley is bigger and
more wonderful to see than any man-made show,
and you can't see it in a few days"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-04-26

We've always been a cohesive community, and
our people have been able to rise to occasions For
example, after the War Between the States the
ladies of Winchester formed an association and
undertook the monumental task of collecting the
war dead from 10 miles and more around
"We are short many things but long on
community projects-whch has many side benefits
If a major disaster for instance, were to hit u.s.
we wouldn't be at loss to know who was capable
of doing what We've been emergency tested
already"
To cover basic production expenses, Festival
memberships are sold in fall and winter.
CLOSE to $1,000 raised this time in Win
chester alone and almost as much nearby" reports
E. r. Huntsberry, retail merchants president.
But that's only drop in the bucket, compared
with the cost of the whole show, including the
money spent by participating units" points out Mr.
Scully Experts have estimated the total outlay
at upwards of $250OO0."
Worth the Price
Festival directors admit, however, that results
are worth the high price.

Although dark clouds have threatened previous
Festivals, only World War II was stormy enough to
force cancellations. Except for interruptions be-
tween 1912 and 1896 the shows have run steadily
since 1924
Few original Festival planners are still around
the Shenandoah Valley, but their children-and In
some instances, their grandchildren-are actively
working on the shows.
There's a great family continuity, says
Thomas G. Scully, lawyer and former Festival
president Young work up to positions OF
leadership, assume them, then fade out. Take me-
l started a Boy Scout selling programs finally
became president, and soon will bow out"
How Is 1t Done?
Each year more than 1000 perSons-about one
sixth of Winchesters total population-help with
the enterprise which is at least six months In the
planning.
Many observers wonder" Mr. Sculy says, now
our comparatively small community can come up
with such large production and absorb the 100000
or more people who show up to see 1t. Wen, tne>
answer lies largely in the kind of place this Is
