Fun Frolic nets over $8,000 by Tiba Altoma It was 20 years ago when the first In- diana University Fun Frolic earned a small profit for scholarships for children of lU staff employees. The first Fun Frolic, with seven rides and 10 skill booths, was set up in Wood- lawn Field. That year, only $600 was raised for the scholarship fund. Now, the Fun Frolic brings in more than $8,000 annually. Sponsored by university staff employe- es, the 1977 lU Community Fun Frolic took place June 14-18. Located in the meadow at Seventh Street and Jordan Avenue, this year ' s carnival had 16 rides, including a super- slide, the Twister and the Super Himalaya. A bingo tent, Dunk-A-Man and baloon darts were some of the 12 skill booths at the fair. .J photos J.D Schwalm 22 (TOP) Ronnie Vandeventer pitches a ring toward a bottle in hopes o winning a Coke (CENTER) People of different ages enjoy Fun Frolic, as con be seen b) this threesome.

Saturday vendors market wares by Tiba Altoma Wouldn ' t you like a cantaloupe today? They ' re only 40 cents a pound, asked a 17-year-old female. This was just one of the many offers coming from the ap- proximately 50 vendors who gathered every Saturday morning in Bloomington ' s Third Street Park to participate in the Community Market. Dozens of fresh vegetables and flow- ers were sold at the market by vendors from Monroe County and surrounding areas. The market, open for buisness from June until late fall, is sponsored and co- ordinated by the Human Resources De- partment of Bloomington. Paul Fulton, one of the market ' s three coordinators, said this summer had been the most suc- cessful since its inception two years ago. The purpose of the market is to pro- vide an alternative for people to buy fresh produce and to bring them together socially, Fulton said. Vendors were charged a weekly fee of $1 if they sold their wares at a table in the park and $2 if they sold them from a veh- icle. Many offered unusual kinds of pro- duce such OS Kerala, a bitter-tasting In- dian vegetable used for blood-purifying. For customers who did not know how to cook some of the less popular vegeta- bles, the Human Resources Department provided a board for exchanging recipes. Entertainment was another special fea- ture provided by the department every Saturday morning. Guitar strumming, dancing, singing and a special visit from the Pretense Theatre group were some of the activities this summer. (LEFT) David Porter plays his harmonica until cus- tomers arrive.
