SECTION 2 - PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALEK-HERALD, WEDNESDAY . MA\ 22.1963 Harvard Milk Days salute dairy farmer It's a slice of Americana. It's Milk Days: Harvard's 44th annual salute to the dairy far­ mer. It's a family-style celebration, the kind the American Dairy Association would put its Heal Seal of approval on. There are parades, crepe- paper clad princes and prin­ cesses, a queen contest, bed races, a drum and bugle corps competition, carnival rides, a talent show, a tractor pull, farm tours, goat and horse shows. Of course, there's a cattle show, too. The festival will begin this year on Thursday, May 30 with the crowning of the Milk Days Queen. The final event will be a fireworks display Sunday, June 2. The highlight of the celebration is traditionally the Milk Days parade. Last year, the unusual crowd of 55,000 viewed the parade, which featured more than 100 units including 25 bands. The main street through downtown Harvard is renamed for the weekend, becoming the Milky Way. That image is taken so far as to whitewashing Ayer Street in the early morning hours of the Milk Days Satur­ day. This year's parade will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 1, with a milk drinking contest in front of the reviewing stand. About a half hour later, more than 100 units will begin a two-hour tour of the Milky Way. At noon that day, the WGN radio Noon Show will be broadcast live from Harvard.

At 6 p.m., a teany of Army personnel will hold a repeling demonstration at the high school football field. The field will also be the site of; the Creme de Corps n drum and bugle competition.

Last year, more than 1,500 people watched the contest, which was won by the Rockford Phantom Regiment. At 8 p.m. Thuraday, May 30, The Milk Days Queen will be selected and the coronation ball will be held at the Harvard Moose Lodge.
