Fir« Company Carnival

In Washington This Week

The Keystone Attractions car* nival now showing in Washington,, under auspices of the Rappahanhad a good opening night for Monday, i>ut the skies furnished the “wet ’blahket” for Tuesday night. The firemen are hoping that the rest of the week will see good weather so a good crowd will be in attendance. Many from Sperryville and other communities were seen on the lot the first of the week.

The carnival has a ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and a kiddie train as well as the numerous midway attractions of a carnival. The “eats” booth will be run by the ladies of the Auxiliary, with the different communities furnishing the food on different nights.

Mr. Barnhill, concession owner with the carnival, says that he recalls having been in Washington before^Jpn 1929. He walked about the town "trying to locate”'himself, be stated. When here before, he recalled that it was the first year of the terrific '29, ’30, ’31 drought. He recalls that the earn nival was held in a wooded spot, guessed to be Jack Miller's woods. He thinks that the road has been changed; and he is certain that it has been improved! Mr. Barnhill says that he can see very little change in the town.

The owner of the glass dish concession had to restock his concession after Monday night; when Mary Wharton finished, she could have opened up a stand of her own.

Don’t forget the Fire Company benefits by every nickel or dime you spend on the midway.
