There has to be some story behind this. A ‘Carnival Committee’ is begging for details.
Stake carnivals? Yeah!
… a story behind this. Or someone begging for attention!
I don’t know the specific story. I know that lots of wards and stakes used to hold carnivals, some of them rather elaborate, to raise funds, usually for buildings. I assume that’s what this was. They’d have to have a lot of correspondence — solicitations for donations, advertisements, whatever — to justify printing a letterhead, wouldn’t they?
I can remember stake carnivals in the mid- to late 1960s. The Sharon Stake (or was it East Sharon?) used to bring in carnival rides that they’d set up in the stake house parking. It was the real deal.
“It can be done” — unofficial motto of ward activities committees everywhere.
