I The Village of Holidayfylls Cheri Hoglund Rosemary Holtz Great Escape- • From Ice State ;To Sunny West The playground of the west, :• Las Vegas, welcomed the > Douglas family to its fair city. -1 While Holiday Hillers were : shivering and bemoaning their '• cruel fate, Howard, Betty and Dawn were soaking up the <• sunshine where temperatures - were in the seventies. Young " Dawn made a spectacle of - herself as she was asked to << assist, live and on stage, with 2 Tony Orlando who rewarded her with a big kiss. • Florence Henderson of the Brady Bunch was in the same •< audience and was thrilled when <t Dawn had her picture taken • with the star and then autographed her menu. Lucky Dawn was also a big • winner, adding some beautiful dolls to her collection. Needless to say the Douglas* are looking ; forward with great anticipation v to next years' excursion. TO McHENRY WITH LOVE Visitors from the Pelican state, Louisiana, brightened ' the already gay holiday mood -< at the Holtz residence. Bill's - sister, Cathy, twofhildren, Ray :• and Shelly, and stepdad, Jog - were astonished, amazed and • delighted by their first glimpse , of snow. Mother Nature ' cooperated, perhaps too much, with an abundance of the white, • flaky stuff. Snowmen, balls and forts - dotted the landscape as the kids quickly learned the fine art of snow creativity. The afternoon was enjoyed by all-and as they drove out of sight "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnite" THAT'S THE BREAKS Noreen DeWitt, sensational superstar of the Marian girls basketball team, will be sidelined for a while. The team will lose her valuable services due to an injury - a broken finger, sustained while in volved in a winning effort. We wish Noreen a speedy recovery.

There'll be cash and trophy prize races. The auxiliary will be on hand with food and hot drinks. Entrance fees have not been set as yet. But be sure to watch this column for more in formation. And all you snowmobile enthusiasts, be GREATSUCCESS The Magic show presented Dec. 21 at the Waterfront Stage was a great success. Presented by the Sunnyside Women's auxiliary with proceeds to go to the village hall building fund, the Magic show had a full house. Everyone enjoyed being entertained by Pete VanDyke at the organ. Pete played Christmas carols and the crowd sang along. Then Santa appeared and all the children present received a treat from him. Rondini mystified young and old alike with his fetes of magic. It was a very pleasant evening and a success for the first endeavor of the Sunnyside auxiliary. BIRTHDAYS Holiday birthday greetings this week go to George Colomer who has his special day Dec. 24.
