Show Poultry Day Is Big Event The Poultry day at Manti la.st Friday was undoubtedly the biggest big-gest single -day celebration ever held in the county. The day was ideal, th9 program fine, and the crowd numbered approximately approximat-ely 5000. As scheduled the parade tock place shortly , before the noon hour. . It was pronounced A-l, not only by local people but bj visitors as weU. One visitor who is employed at work which takes him into many ttates of the un ion, stated that not in several years had he seen a parade mo.e appropriately designed and fine: in artistic beauty. The float de .signed and entered by the Ladies Literary Club of Manti was awaic ed first prize. Although much doubt was felt in many quarters about the ability abil-ity of the coinmittee to furnish chicken sandwiches for all visiters, none went away unserved. Practically Prac-tically aU of the 5000 visitors received re-ceived free sandwiches and punch, and right here it should be sail, the lunch was prepared to ; "queen's taste." Even as fine a Connoisseur on chicken sandwiches sand-wiches as Attorney Lewis Larson, smiled and raid they were good. The entire afternoon progran-. went off in great style. The tuy of war resulted in a tie. , In th. first contest the men from tin. north end of the county, who were pulling south, seemed to be n. match for the South Sanpett men. When the situation wa;. changed, and the North Sanpet; men pulled toward the north, they walked off with tho "bacon" a. easily as had the South Sanpete men in the first contest. Th slope of the land evidently liai much to do with the outcome ol the match, which was declared ; a draw. The base ball game between North and South Sanpete was a neat exhibition of our great na tional game. Two runs were made by the south end men in the fir:: inning. This concluded the scoring scor-ing for the rest of the game, which ended 2-0 for the south. All in all the day was a grea' success, and will undoubtedly b a big boost to the poultry indus try in Sanpete County. Th: men and women who labored faithfully to make it an outstanding outstand-ing significant event are to bi congratulated. Manti Messenger. |
