This Day in History: 1915-06-19
An extremely successful Strawberry Festival was put on at the grounds of the Fardale Pleasure Club. The Committee was under the Chairmanship of Maud Place, assisted by Mrs. H. J. Morris, Myrtle Winter, Mary Warosky, Rita Saalfield, Fred Gebauer, and Charles Bartholf. Norman Van Gelder turned out to be the salesperson of the day. He was reported to have “washed dishes with one hand, sold cream with the other, drew the multitude with his silver tongue, and made change with his feet”. (Bristow)
