Mr. and Mrs. Wren Mart celebrated their 50th wedding Anniversary July 2. People from all over showed up in campers and trailers to be in on the good time. The Fourth of July saw a lot of winners. Best of all, the weather was a winner. Nice. Harold’s Club and the Branding Iron won the Best Business Float. The Most Patriotic went to the 6D's.

They are trying to determine the reason dinasaurs became extinct. Felimans held their second big Bar-B-Que and dance in August. It was a good chance to see about everybody in the county. Jordan had a weather station installed out at the airport. It has an automatic telephone system instead of a teletype system. There were several bad storms this summer. One completely demolished Fredric Loomis' trailer and a lot of people suffered hail damage. The Fair, held tire last week before school starts, is always the highlight of a Garfield summer.
