Rapp’k Represented In
Front Royal Saturday
Rappahannock county ,was well represented in the Bing Crosby Day parade in Front Royal Saturday April 1.
Col. Richardson and W. G. Eastham were spotted early in the parade on horseback.
Riding on one of the floats were Jo Ellen Worth, Elizabeth Verner, and Myrla Ann Updike.
Needless to say the school children were enjoying themselves to the utmost, in the parade and at the show in the afternoon.
There was not a more outstanding piece of equipment in the firefighting section of the parade than was that of Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company. The antique hand-drawn piece of equipment was resplendent with a new coat of bright red paint and the brass was polished blindingly.
Estimates say the old fire-fighting apparatus is about 60 years old, and after much questioning, no one could give its exact age.
Fire Chief L. V. Merrill escorted the equipment, which wras pulled by Carlyle Lea, John Turner, C. E. Giles, J. E. Keyser, Charlie Jenkins, Luti|qr Payne, M. M. Hawkins, Jr., and Harry Trescott. Four young ladies from Sperryville—Charlotte Pullen, Christine Jenkins, Carolyn Jenkins, Barbara Brown—carried a banner declaring Rappahannock Volunteer Fire Company.
The firemen were dressed in costumes appropriate to the date of the old hand-operated fire-apparatus. They wore black fire helmets, red shirts, and dungarees.
Many Rappahannock citizens were on hand Saturday night to attend the premiere showing of “Riding High.’’
