Thursday. June 30. 1960 THE McHENHY f PLAINDEALEH Wonder Lake ANNUAL DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS SUNDAY. JULY 3 •Jane Ducey The annual fireworks display sponsored by the Wonder LaKe post of the American Legion, will take place Sunday night, July 3, (weather permitting) at dusk, which is about 9 p.rrt. The fireworks will be set off on Yacht Club island, which is off shore at the point of Indian. Ridge subdivision. The date" has been set to accommodate the sumnier people, many of whom > £ be gone by the evening of < the fourth. In case of rain the display will be set off the next clear night following. The traditional parade of boats will precede the fireworks, starting from the pier at LaGrecaj. Boats will gather about 8:15 p.m. and wll iqe given flares to carry. A S1.000 display of fireworks wij^be set off Sunday night. So far the local post has been lucky with old man weather. The boys sweat it out when the sky , is overcast because of the risk to that portion of the fireworks lying exposed on the beach. The loss in case of rain is chalked up to the supplier before the first rocket is fired... .nfter that the rockets, wet or dry, belong to the post. « Page Nine Lois Weeks Nominated County Commander The first woman to be nominated for Commander of the McHenry County Council of American Legion is Mrs. George Weeks of Wonder Center.
