LILY LAKE DAY IS NOW HISTORY The Lily Lake area display at the McHenry County Historical Society Aug. 7 gave area residents a look into by'gqne days. Among those who were impressed fay the pictures lent by Padta Morrison, the historian of the Village of Lakemoor, Myldred Rowe and others, were A1 and Jean Dem- ber; Del and Karen Douglass and children Mike, Eileen and Danny; the Watkins family; Louise and Don Hipwell; and Alma Hueckstaedt and family. Many younger residents of our area were amazed to see what Lily Lake was like in the past, and were especially impressed with the travel brochure put out by Sampson and Sex Realty company in 1926. The Villa Delora pictures wore of special interest with the extravagant use of statuary, Planners interested in the restoration of the old Seyffreth mansion were able to get copies. Nancy' Fike of the historical society had arranged the display, and I was on the welcoming committee. Joe DeMarco's World War II "Cootie Rug", was a colorful addition enjoyed by young and old. Rob Charsha drove it to Union, ac­ companied by son Bobby and Joe. As always, heads turned as this copy of a large bug was driven down the roads, marveling at this mechanized won­ der. f "Lily Lake Speaks", the poem Louise Hipwell wrote for this occasion and which was hand-lettered by our son-in-law Daniel van Loon, was donated to the historical society in remembrance of our day in their twentieth year celebration. Perhaps the heat or the final day of the McHenry County Fair accounted for the absence qf some Lily Lake people. Those who didn't come, missed a chance to share our area's heritage and also examine the historical society's two floors of antiquities plus the log cabin, complete with a lady spinning and weaving.

READING FINALE ISFUNFORALL The first cool rain-possible day in a month, Thursday, the 11th of August, was the date for the award time for youngsters in the McHenry Nunda Library Rainbow Reading program. About 75 persons milled about, wat­ ching for the rain that might interrupt the fun and games planned by the Friends of the Library, who had sponsored the preschool story hour and reading for the older youngsters. Peggy Glus, with the help of daughter Chris, baked and decorated cupcakes; each pan with a different rainbow color topping. She also supplied the special treat recognition given to older youngsters who had read to the little ones during story hour every week. Vickie Delp was responsible for bringing the drink from a favorite fast food place and arranging for some of the prizes. Sweets were donated by Mrs. Lena Glus, Allen Eilts, Tracy Ronesz, Michelle Carder and Mrs. Traskaski, who also donated balloons, as did Dorothy Agnes. Lorry Deeke was the coordinator of the whole program and gave many hours to planning; from making and coloring the 60 rainbows that hung from the library ceiling, to passing out the tickets she had made for the games. Readers of the most books were Tracy Ronesz, Ronnie Bonesz, Victor Guevera, Jennifer Agnes and Kelly Agnes. Every youngster in the program received a prize, as did winners of the games. Little Becky Agnes, with her guess of 180 jelly beans, was the winner in the jelly bean contest, as Peggy had put 185 into the jar. The success of the Rainbow Reading program was due to the dedication of Lorry, Peggy and Vickie. All the Rainbow readers appreciated their efforts and are already looking forward to next summer's program. The Friends is open to any interested adults who enjoy children and want to see library use expanded. Call 385-0317 for in­ formation for projects in the new library in the fall.
