AUGUST M, IWI The Village of Holiday Hills CHERI HOGIUND ROSEMARY HOtTZ Canady Clan Enjoys Camping Across Country The Canady clan, Tom, Rosemarie, Michelle, Paulette and Tommy, enjoyed their two- week vacation by camping their way across our beautiful country. The first stop was Arizona, where the family delighted in visiting with Rosemarie's folks and touring the wild west. Favorite at­ tractions ' were an old time saloon that featured an original Jack Dempsey bar and the pastime of the west-gambling. Several old cowboy ghost towns were also on the scenic route, as well as the beautiful forest at Flagstaff, the fantastic city of Phoenix and her alluring sights, and Legend City-- Arizona's answer to Great America. The natural spec­ tacles of the area were especially appealing to the family. Leaving the desert and 385-3944 344-0615 its cool temperature of 104 degrees in the shade behind, the Canadys mosied on down to Texas where they spent time at 6 Flags Over Texas, touring a wax museum and then treated themselves to a real safari-land adventure, where people are confined to their cars and animals of all varieties are free to roam Unharmed. Imagine coasting past a gorilla and waving at the friendly lions, and elephants having the right of way. The family made their final stop in Kentucky to visit Tom's parents before returning to Holiday Hills, tired but full of happy memories and new plans for next year. BIRTHDAY CELEBRANTS Debbie Holtz was one happy little lady when friends and relatives gathered to help celebrate her eighth birthday at not one but two fun-filled parties. Coconut chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream were featured at the first party which was held at the home of Debbie's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. George Lubas of McHenry Shores, on her real birthdate July 28. The following Saturday Debbie and best friend, Jill, were treated to a trip to the neighborhood roller rink by her brave and well coordinated dad. Party number duo was held on Sunday evening at home where Debbie helped serve another cake, this time a chocolate double fudge cake to her guests. A good time was enjoyed by all. Still another happy birthday during that popular July week and this one for Michelle Canady who celebrated her eleventh birthday. Michelle's parents, sister, brother and her aunt, uncle and two cousins enjoyed making this a happy occasion. And birthday wishes go to Kelly Wegener who reached that magic and mobile age of 16 on July 26. Kelly was treated to a surprise party by her friends and classmates from Marian high school in Woodstock. The girls enjoyed cake, ice cream, sandwiches and soft drinks as they talked and played their favorite records. Congratulations to Debbie, Michelle, and Kelly and warm wishes tor many days to come.

His cohorts in ad­ venture and excitement were Rick Connell and Mike Priko who enjoyed seven days of out­ door living, swimming, boating and hiking. John is really looking forward to next year's campout without another case of the chicken pox. LOVE- AMERICAN STYLE "Chances Are" that if you've seen Rosemary Holtz since she and Bill attended the Johnny Mathis concert at Mill Run Theater, you've heard how thrilled Rosemary was with the talent Johnny displayed his 2 hour show, which inclt his very latest and greatest hits.

Hang in there Rosemary only 11 more months til Johnny is back in town. HEY HEY, HOLY COW! Our own little blue machine, the amazing Cubs, did it! An 8-6 decision over the Hit Men, the Sox, in an opening day, stan­ ding room only crowd. The first game of the Holiday Hills Softball League was played before a capacity audience. Both teams who boast the talents of hoys and girts ages 7- 10 wowed the spectators with fantastic displays of skill - in hitting and fielding. The two teams will play .again and the Sox hope to revenge them­ selves. In yet another contest of America's favorite pastime the Fun-Seekert outlasted their rivals the Black-jacks with a score of 13-1! before a small but approving crowd.
