Sometime between August 17th. and August 21st., some expert licensed and certified out of town judges will travel all around Beavertown Borough and look at each house that is decorated for our town's 200th. birthday, and pick the first, second and third place winners.

The prizes going to the winners will be $50 First place, $30 Second Place and $20 Third Place. The winners will be announced at 6:00 P.M. on August 22nd. at the Happy Birthday Beavertown Birthday Party to be held at the Possum Hollow Park. Winners of this prize, AND THIS PRIZE ONLY, need not be present to win.

In order to facilitate the town's decorations, the Beavertown Bicentennial Committee has purchased 900 yards of very nice red, white and blue plastic bunting, with white stars on a blue background, which we will sell to any Beavertown resident at our cost of 21 cents a foot. This is very flexible and can be seen from both sides. It can made into fans and anything else your imagination can conceive of. This bunting is available right now every weekday evening from 6 to 9 PM, and all day Saturday, from 9 to 9, at the home of Rodney Kerstetter, of 429 East Market Street, the yellow house right across from the Getz Barrel Company shop. You may call 658-7205 during these hours to put in your order so all you need to do then is to come to the house and pick up your ready made order.

Lets really "doll up" Beavertown for Hillbilly Fever Days and the week following when we will have our big Historic Show in the Firehall on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the big birthday party on Sunday from Noon to 9:00 P.M. at the Possum Hollow Park. Fly your flags, display your bunting, and anything else in good taste to make our town festive. Share this information with your friends and familiy . We want everyone to know about our Bicentennial fun so all of our citizens can be part of it.
