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. VIEW FROM THE TON Diana Thomas enjoyed the view from Santa's float as a member of the winter Prince and Princess court. Santa, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and the Cinnamon Bear made their appearance Nov. 25. Despite the freezing weather a great time was had by all. BROWNIES Brownie Troop 409 held its investiture for new members Nov. 21. Sally Bartkus, Doris Decker and Robin Thommes were welcomed into the Brownie ring with songs and the Brownie pledge. The pin­ ning ceremony was followed by a reception for the girls and their guests Santa Claus and Brownie Troop 409 agreed that the best thing about Christmas is giving and lhe residents of Sheltering Oaks in Island Lake were the recipients of these gifts of love. Carols of the season filled the hall with the happy voices. The girls then enjoyed a hot cup ot cocoa before going out in the winterv weather. WOMEN'S CLUB Women's club is alive and well in Holiday Hills. A gala Christmas party was hosted by the club^s officers at the home of Marge Connell.

SNOWMOBILE RALLY Plans for the Snowmobile rally sponsored by the Sun­ nyside Women's auxiliary are moving right along. The rally will be held Sunday, Jan. 29, 1978, in the field across from the Sunnyside inn. The proceeds of the rally are to go toward the village hall building fund. 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.
