It's primarily just a day to have fun," continues Smitty. The Chamber has lined up a wide variety of activities all designed with a plain good ol' time in mind. There will be games and wagon rides for the children, and hopefully several mock holdups hold-ups will be staged. Other events include a watermel-lon-eating contest, a three-legged three-legged race and a bicycle race up Main Street. An added attraction will be the Salt Lake Post Office Marching March-ing Band.

Officials at the Chamber have indicated that those Parkites who are not clad in suitable clothing for the day, may run the risk of being thrown into the dungeon beneath be-neath the Chamber office and released only after paying a stiff fine. |
