WHAT IS THE PIED
PIPER PARADE?
What is the Pied Piper Parade
for the Midnight Sun Festival?
This is an event in which most
children in the community can
qualify, because it is a parade of
pets. Awards for littlest dog,
prettiest dog, biggest dog, ugliest
mutt, most unusual pet, etc., and
other categories too numerous to i
mention, will be made. Every child j
with a pet will be given a chance
to register the pet in a specific I
group, and all entries will be
paraded by their owners, who
should be in costume for the event,
which takes place during the
Mdinight Sun Festival.
The Midnight Sun Festival is
being featured in Life Magazine
this month. It has been announced
that a group of pictures which
were taken last year during the
Festival by Phil Hoon from Phil’s
Studio in Fairbanks, highlight the
1959 event. There are pictures of
the band, blanket toss, and sev
eral other features of the Festival,
with many local persons shown
in costume.
