Some square danced, some played soft ball, some just chat ted. This time ai)proximately 800 people were present and were treated to the same menu as those who were present the previous Saturday.

After all had eaten to capacity, Funnings .string band struck up some mountain music- -ap proximately 50 1‘ouples joined in a S(iuare dance, and the revelry was underway. The fun continued all af ternoon, but as (larkne.ss approached the crowd l)ecame sn\aller.
