A Tribute To The O' Mermaid Festival We of The MaiLJournal dedicate with pride this issue of our newspaper to the 2nth annual Mermaid Festival now underway at North Webster. Each year at this time the Festival is held with more activities, mole interest, more pomp, more community spirit and more crowds than the proceeding year. Each year it is just a little bit bigger and a little bit better. Our hats are off to the many, many North Webster people who devote months of their time each year to the success of the Festival. It must seem to them that the one year’s festivities are barely finished when it is time to start on the next year’s Festival. * It is the North Webster Lions club who sponsors this evdpt each year, but it is the residents of the town and the merchants who help the Lions make the festival the success that it- is. ? We feel the town deserves a round of applause on this the 20th ahnual Mermaid Festival. May “America’s greatest small town festival” continue to live and grow.
