Probably one of the most unique raffle items ever presented at Peach Days is being offered this year by the Brigham City Volunteer Fire department. It is a fire truck. The truck is actually a 1954 Chevrolet van which has been replaced this year by a new piece of equipment. Instead of just letting it go as surplus equipment, the volunteer force decided to sell tickets on it and have a drawing. The tickets are $1 each. Fire Chief Tuff Claybaugh said the tickets are selling just great, a lot better than we thought they would. And, we havent really hit the Peach Days crowd yet. He said everyone takes the sale in good humor with cracks like Ill buy one if you promise I wont win. Most of these comments come from the older generation however, he said, the kids just drool over the thing. They can see the possibility of turning it into a moon wagon. Whoever wins, the chief said, will surely receive several offers to buy it, if they have no use for it themselves. Even some of our firemen would like to buy it. build into a brush fire truck. We already have the tank and Helping the firemen to sell tickets will be members of the Box Elder High Letterman's club and also members of the Firemens Ladies auxiliary.

She and the wizard secretly plan to test her for sensitivity and place a tiny pea beneath 20 mattresses. They then hold an exhausting ball, tire her with studying half the night for an unknown test, deaden her senses with a hypnotic mirror, incense, a sleeping potion of opium and warm milk and lull her with a lullaby from a large bird. The princess, then completely worn out, tries to sleep on the 20 downy mattresses. When she cannot sleep a wink the pea is presumed to be the cause due to her royal blood. What really kept the princess awake is the hilarious conclusion to this tuneful play.
