The celebration brought about wet soupy weather which kept the ducks down within range, but the eight prizes couldnt be stretched over the large crowd that attended the affair. During the evening an estimated crowd of 1,500 to 2,000 people milled in and out of the armory. Making every effort to keep the proceedings above suspicion, a small blond boy was brought up to the stage, blindfolded and picked out the slip with Kleon Kerrs number on it. Along with the simple act went a new 1947 Ford Super Deluxe car on which many people had all but bought insurance and built a garage. Other winners of the evening were: Max Morgan who won a coffee set, Jack Sparkman of Honeyville, who won a fly reel and set, Reed Siinonsen who won a fly rod, Burt Vincent, a coffee maker, R. A. Stewart, a pair of rubber boots; Writ. Kep, one dozen duck decoys; J. R. Gibbs, a thermos jug, and Eric Seashore, a fishing set. All winners with the exception of the boys from Tremonton and Honeyville were from Brigham . Cify..

All of these boys attended Box Eider high school. Sam Gordon, vocational agriculture teacher at Box Elder high aceorrj.'nied the boys on the trip. The trip was made possible by the Board of Education, Box Elder high school, Farm Bureau, Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants committee which boots. helped finance the trip.
