Thursday, August 2, 1973

4-H Camp

About 130 campers and 15 staff members had a very successful 4-H camp at Camp Pocahontas last week…

The tribal leaders were:

Delaware – Marla Chestnut, Chief; Lenny Combs, Sagamore

Mingo – Mike McLaughlin, Chief; Ronnie Mullens, Sagamore

Cherokee – Marzella Hollandsworth, Chief; Cheryl Dunbrack, Sagamore

Seneca – Wendy Wooddell, Chief; Debbie Eddy, Sagamore

Big Feet – Buck Morrison, Chief; Sally Nottingham, Sagamore.

Head H – Wendy Wooddell; Heart H – Jacob McNeel; Hand H – Mike McLaughlin; Health H – Tammy Crist

Spirit of the Camp – Marla Chestnut

TRIBUTE

Some of those who have worked on Pioneer Days for several years and know something of the many problems that come up, and the perplexing decisions that have to be made, would like to publicly express their support and appreciation for Doug Dunbrack and his work as director the past few years. He has given much time to this community and county effort, and has enlisted able help.

As we look back over the years at Pioneer Days, the idea proposed by Johnnie B. Hill, and the organizational work of Robert S. Jacobson, plus the efforts of many interested people who want to preserve our heritage for the coming generations and like to see our county live and grow with enthusiasm, we consider it a worthwhile effort.

Let’s keep it going.
