BLACK HILLS ORDNANCE DEPOT

KIDDIES DAY PARADE

Igloo kids will be feted tomorrow during the local National Kids Day celebration which will be sponsored by the Kiwanis Club.

Starting the day which will honor the nation's boys and girls there will be the Kiddies Day Parade, an annual event since 1946. It is expected 300 local grade school and pre-school youngsters will be vying with each other for the $50 in cash prizes.

Arnold Syverts, Parade Marshall said the kids would assemble in the parking lot south of the school at 9:00 a.m. There will be four divisions, pets, costume, comic and floats, which will march in that order. A colored tag with number will be pinned to each contestant to aid the judges in selecting the winners in each division.

Kiwanians in charge of each section are: pets, Verdell Haakeson, orange tags; costume, Dick Franklin, white tags; comic, Ed Hall, pink tags; and floats, Arnold Syverts, yellow tags. High School Key Clubbers and Boy Scouts will assist in arranging each section.

Syverts said prizes of five dollars, three dollars and two dollars would be given for first, second and third plane winners respectively in each section with a ten dollar grand prize going to the best entry in the entire parade. The Grand Prize Winner will not be eligible for division prizes.

Boy Scouts, acting as color bearers, will lead off the parade at 9:30 sharp. The Provo High School Band will follow. The parade will turn right on Custer Raod from the parking lot, follow Custer Road to the alley between the Bowling Alley and the Vets Club, and then turn right down the alley. From there it will go to the left of the wire netting back of the home plate at the softball field. Entries will pass in review in front of the judges stand which will be located in the softball bleachers and then line up by divisions in the infield. Each division will pass in review a second time for final judging.

Following the parade, or at 11:00 a.m., whichever is later, athletic events for the kids will be held on the softball field. Dashs, three legged races and relays are planned.

At 2:15 p.m., all pre-school and grade school children will be treated to a free show at the local theatre. High school students and adults will be admitted free if accompanying a child.
