Carnival Next'lonth,
According to the repor of Carle
Brow of McCall, publicity�4,,agent'jof;
the Carnival association, the;:WintecF
Carnival to be held there on tlie,6th'
and-7th of next month, .promis@sto
be -the most' interesting• event^'oi?!its
kind over held" in the inter- mountdin-
country. 1
Mr. Brown says thai4', McCa a;
making no effort to compete, •"•iii+
Ashton in the matter of'jdog":'racilri
because Ashton has the50.'.,nationally:
known dog derby and is �unrivaledi3O
far as that event is concerned.
i
The McCall carnival�t'will be�.de:
voted almost exclusively;;': to winter
sports.
"One of the moat -interesting,
features of this show this' "yearIII
be the ski jumping. They have pyre
pared a jump that is extremely• steep
and one over which a "good skier
ought to be able to make'.a distance
of nearly 200 feet. They havey-re
ceived word that several professional
ski jumpers from British'; Columbia
will be on hand and others, are ex-
pected from various seetions'iof'the
northwest.,..,,. The handsomeglipraes
that are being offered should. pro-
duce lively. competition..s;.f .
"A half mile track h",been, laid
out on the ice of the lak4;,'and� some
noted running horses will.be ?present
for the horse ski races. Aflh'(3, carni-
val last year ,,these races�rdelighted
the crowds, and this.'year.lthey4; will -
be even more interesting because'�the
horses are exceptionally` ,`fii' and
there will be many more e 6149;'F}z
"An added •, feature for''thel: 925
show will be the cutter races fnr'sin
gle and double harness :open'rto , all
drivers around the half. mileltrack.
These events have already.. be6n' well
filled and there Wno doubt thatl'the'
sport will be"'extremely exciting,'and'
well worth the trip-to McCall,;
"The chief dog race covering %a,tdis -,
tance of 15 miles should also.7'b'e !of
interest. Caldwell . had"loenteTed',a

First Winter Carnival
a rousin g success
1924 event included sled -dogs,
sleighs powered by airplane
motors and fat ladies race'
(Note: This the second in an occasional
series to mark the centennial of McCall's
incorporation on July 19, 1911.)
By Marlene Bailey
For The Star -Nms
If anyone in McCall in 1924 was worried
about thin ice on Payette Lake, it was not evi-
dent during the town's first winter carnival.
The lake served as the centerpiece for several
of the carnival's events.
The first McCall Winter Carnival was held
Feb. 29 through March 1, 1924 and was attended
by an estimated 2,000 people, including Gov.
Charles C. Moore.
More than $1,500 was donated by McCall
businesses for winners' purses given out by
the newly organized Commercial Club.
The Oregon Short Line railroad arranged
for special trains with sleepers attached to
run from the main line to McCall during
the carnival. Many residents opened their
homes to welcome visitors who could not find
a hotel room.
Among the main events for the first carni-
val were sled -dog races and snowshoe races,
held on a circular track on the frozen lake that
was easily viewed by spectators on shore.
The big event was a 15 -mile sled -dog derby
won by Tud Kent in 78 minutes, 20 seconds.
There were ski races for adults and youths,
men and women, ranging from 100 yards to
two miles.
There was even a "fat ladies race," where
not only the time was recorded, but the la-
dies' weight as well, and races where men
and women raced wearing one snowshoe
and one ski.

Close Finish in
1 -Mile Race
In the one mile ski race
Shorty Pulsen and Gust Maki
of Norwood left the field
behind. Pulsen led to within
a few feet of the finish line
whenMakipassedhimto win
by a narrow margin.
Another favorite event
of the first carnival was
ski jumping, held on Black-
well Hill near the current
intersection of Lick Creek
Road and Spring Mountain
Boulevard. '
Twenty five sleighs
brought visitors out to the
hill where a ski jump had
been built. Odin Pulsen of
` Cascade gave a remarkable
jumping exhibition of 67
feet, 2 inches, while Lloyd
Johnson of McCall, a 6 -year-
old, jumped 15 feet.
I.O. Prout, the owner of
the McCall Bakery, gave two
exciting exhibitions by suc-
cessfully riding the ski jump
on a toboggan sled, according
to accounts.
Another crowd - pleaser
was skijouring, where horses
pulled their "drivers" along
on skis. In the finals, nobody
finished the course, so the
$40 prize money was divided
among three finalists.
Last, but not least, was a
great tug -o -war between the
men and women of Cascade
and McCall.
The Cascade men's team
won, but the women's teams,
after several minutes of fu-
rious tugging, were stopped
and a draw called to save a
perfectly good rope.
"Motor sleighs," sleds
with propeller- driven air-
plane motors attached, gave
visitors exhilarating rides
over the smooth ice - covered
.expanse of the lake.
A huge toboggan slide
was built in the center of
town and went down onto the
lake along Second Street and
onto the current site of Art
Roberts Park.
Elizabeth Brown, the
daughter of state Sen. Carl
Brown, was selected the first
Winter Carnival Queen by
popular vote.

of 1924, scrapbooks of
local residents and oral
histories.)
