Boom. bang, is what you hear during the Blue Water Festival Fireworks. Crowds of people gathered around to watch the spectacular sky show. Marching in the International Day Pa- rade. Jackie McArthur plays her tenor saxophone. Jackie was a sophomore. A Long Standing Tradition Annually, Port Huron plays host to the Blue Water Festi- val. This tradition, held in July, consists of a carnival, the Port Huron-to-Mackinac sailboat race, and the International Day Parade. This summer, Cumberland Valley Shows set up their rides from July 10th to 20th. It was open to all who wanted to experience the thrill of the Spook House or the fun of the Tilt-a-Whirl. The annual race to Mack- inac is sponsored by the Bayview Yacht Club of Detroit. Every year, hundreds of boats docked in Port Hu- ron and Sarnia the few days preceding the race. The night before the race, the annual boat-night parties broke out. The International Day Pa- rade was held Wednesday the 16th. As always, several colorful floats and bands paraded north on Military Street, Huron Avenue, and ended at SC 4 after turning west on Glenwood. Crowds were estimated at 30-40 thou- sand for parade viewing. Ex- ecutive Director, Bill Gilmer handled the organization. Marching to the beat, the Big Red Marching Machine shows their true col- ors for the Independence Day Parade. They also performed in many other parades during the year at Christmas and Homecoming.

Long Range Plans, Long History Past People in the Blue Water area look forward to several events sponsored by the Museum of Arts and History. Two of these events, the Feast of the Ste. Claire and Pioneer Days, took place last sum- mer. In addition, work was finally begun on the Thom- as Edison Inn. Feast of the Ste. Claire took place May 24th and 25th at Pine Grove Park. It demonstrated how people once lived in St. Clair County when Michigan was first discovered. Pioneer Days was held Au- gust 24th at the museum. This event showed how people lived around the late 1800’s all over the country. Finally, after much de- lay, work was started on the Thomas Edison Inn. This new hotel was the subject of much controver- sy as was the land it was built on. It was built on the former Peerless Property along with a new park and streets. These events showed a long history and long plans all in a short pe- riod of time. • IV .SP I; -x K • «W u I v. . i l ' ' I , fr . - 6
