This Day in History: 1921-08-20
The County Fair held by the Girls Sunshine Club of the Ramapo Reformed Church netted $62 for the Girls fund. Jeannie Wetherall, in a harlequin costume, acted as barker for the various attractions. The freaks tent attracted much attention to such people as Frances Edwards and Henrietta Winter. The Mystic Maze was presided over by Katherine Smith, Bertha White told gypsy fortunes, and Olive Valentine had charge of the “Art” exhibit. The most popular attraction of all was the three reeler “The Amazing Adventures of Annabelle Aggleheimer” which starred Emma Hopper, Alice Smith, Evelyn King, and Sara Cooley, under the direction of Miss Durant. This farce ended when a miniature Mahwah Fire Department engine arrived on the scene to quench the flames. All are to be congratulated on this wonderfully entertaining day. (Bristow)
