PAGE 22 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRIL6.1983 MCCULLOMLAKE down Miller 385-4901 Eggs, Prizes For Easter Carnival The Beach Gals annual Easter carnival was another success with children and parents of the village. Even though the weather did not permit the egg hunt, each child received many colored eggs and received prizes for the ones that were marked so. Hot dogs were on the menu for the day, and to receive dessert, all you had to do was enter the cake walk and win one of the many beautifully decorated cakes or cupcakes. Orchids to everyone who so graciously donated their time, eggs or baked goodies. You all helped to make this event a success. LITTLE MISS CONTEST We now have a new Little Miss McCullom Lake. Sara Mathison, age five, and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Mathison was crowned queen Saturday, March 26, during the Easter carnival by the 1982 queen, Megan Farrell. The first runner-up was four year old, Diana Gates, daughter of Glenn and Donna Gates, and the second runner-up was four year old Rachel Klapperich, daughter of Rob and Val Klapperich. Congratulations to these little Misses and their families. And further congratulations are extended to the other six contestants who helped make this event. Each of these little ones is a queen in her own way. ELECTIONS The April 12 election is soon ap­ proaching. This election will consist of three (3) trustees who will each serve a four year term. Running for office are Dee Valentine, Josephine Jatczak, John (Jack) Morris, Don Milbratz and Roland Hughes. Many residents should recognize these names, since most of them have lived here for quite a few years. Good luck is extended to each candidate. Also, since the election is on the second Tuesday of April, the village board meeting will be held on Mon­ day, April 11, at 8 p.m. at the beach house. Why not plan on at­ tending? GET-WELL WISHES Jean Reid was recently hospitalized for surgery. We wish her a full and speedy recovery and look forward to seeing her up and around soon. Ethel Reiter is back in the hospital again. We hope that it is not for long and that she will soon be home again. Mary Kantorski, one of our dearest senior citizens, had surgery recently. We hope that she is resting com­ fortably by the time she reads this. On Tuesday, March 29, while still recuperating in the hospital, Harriet McNamara celebrated her ninetieth birthday. She was surrounded by her dear friends, daughter, Jeanne, who flew in from California, son, Tom, from McHenry and son, Dick, and wife, Elaine, who brought the bir­ thday cake. Congratulations on such a special birthday, Harriet. We wish you well and hope that you are home soon.

Feature Of Trade Fair Among all the exciting features of the Trade Fair is the opportunity to become a "Royal Keeper of the Town" of McHenry. Anyone can become a integral part of this very special kind of fun and commemorate the family name in the 1,000 games that will be published. "The Game of McHenry" is a board game similar to the famous "Monopoly". However, all the properties will be actual McHenry businesses: Marvin Gardens, cftosc cBusR ! In recognition of Arbor Day, April 29th The Mchenry Plaindealer is offering a FREE Rose Bush with every new Carol Nelson, retail coordinator, and Tom Sullivan, Wheeler-Dealer chairman, invite everyone to be an integral part of the "Game of McHenry" which is being issued in honor of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce's tenth annual Trade Fair. Boardwalk, or St. James Place become the familiar local businesses of McHenry, which can be bought, sold, or traded with the added zest of owning the business of one's dreams or bankrupting a competitor vicariously. In addition to all the McHenry businesses that make up the playing board, the "Royal listing" in the center of the board creates the "Who's Who" of the town under the heading "Royal Keepers of the Town". However, merit is not the criteria. Anyone can be listed for a fee. This personalized version of this all- time favorite commercial game is being issued by the Retail council of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce in honor of the tenth an­ nual Trade Fair. Proceeds from the sales of the game will be used by the council to fund an extensive area-wide "Shop McHenry" program, which will benefit not only the retailers but also the entire community by returning more tax dollars to McHenry. The 1,000 games will be available at participating merchants throughout McHenry for personal use or as gift ideas. Any one business, or an in­ dividual who becomes an integral part of "the Game of McHenry" receives a free game. The current schedule calls for availability by July 15, in time for Fiesta Days. For additional information, in­ terested persons are invited to stop by the Chamber booth at the Trade Fair this weekend, where a game will be on display and questions can be an­ swered by a Retail council member.

The school is located 4 miles south of Crystal Lake on Randall road. The public is invited to watch the clubs perform a three-to-ten minute skit.
