Festival Plans
Outlined By
Chamber Officials
By RUTH McLEAN
At last Monday’s luncheon meet
ing of the NWA Chamber, Presi
dent Jerry Manning turned the
gavel over to Vice President Rus
sell Hermann, and announced it
was his last meeting, and that he
would be leaving for new bank
ing duties in Fairbanks within a
few days.
Mr. Hermann praised Mr. Man
ning’s work done for the Cham
ber, and stated “Perhaps the most
important single accomplishment
during those two years was the
increase in Chamber membership.”
He noted the membership has in
creased three times, and the at
tendance at the weekly meeting
has more than trebled.
The meeting was devoted to
publicizing .the Midnight Sun Fes
tival, and Tourist Committee
Chairman Del Kampmann out
lined final plans for the annual
celebration on June 19, 20 and 21.
He announced the Queen’s robe
and gifts will be shown in Polet’s
window, and also a polar bear rug
and fur parka, one of which will
go to some lucky person Saturday
evening.
Don Collis stated that plans are
shaping up for a fine parade, and
KNOM-TV has volunteered the
use of a truck and teen-age help
ers to bring tundra and willows
into town to decorate the floats.
To set the mood for the coming
week-end honoring Nome’s early
gold-rush days, several Chamber
members wore costumes to the
meeting. Virginia Brown and
Charlie Jones danced their annual
waltz to the honky-tonk piano
“playing” of Don Oufwater. The
Chamber members were reminded
that an active kangaroo court will
be looking for Nome residents and
visitors who are not in costume
on June 10, 20 and 21.
Special guests at the Chamber
luncheon were the Queen candi
