American history. Winner of
the quilt raffle was Edith
Breemes, a visitor from
Tucson, Arizona.

mittee met Monday it

Shoemaker of McCall
chairman and Pauline Bisom
of Cascade vice - chairman.
Seven of the ten members
representing the entire
McCall - Lakefork -D onnelly-
Cascade area attended.
Among the committee's
responsibilities will be co-
ordinating the Bicentennial
activities of the communities
so that they will complement
rather than interfere with
each other.
"We hope we will be able to
draw the people from all the
Valley County communities
together to participate in
each others' activities,"
stated Miss Shoemaker.
The committee also voted
Monday to make application
for Valley County to be
designated an official
Bicentennial County. Such
designation would allow
Valley County activities to be
included in state and national
Bicentennial schedules and
would also award a special
flag to the county.
Over the coming months,
information pool centers will
be established in each Valley
County community where
state and national Bicen-
tennial information and
schedules will be available.
"This way people traveling
to another part of the country
can check with us to find out
what Bicentennial activities
are scheduled for the towns
they will be passing
through," explained Miss
Shoemaker.

Junior high recreates history
DONNELLY — In honor of
the Bicentennial, students at
M -D Junior High School are
reliving the history of Long
Valley.
A log cabin is being hewn,
bread is being baked, and
wool is being spun. Groups of
students are rehearsing a
play, others are chipping
arrowheads, some are
crafting turn -of- the - century
kites, and still others are
weaving with native plant
materials. Even square
dancing, complete with a
caller is part of the
curriculum.
The public has been invited
to participate in the grand
finale of tke two week session,
next Friday, May 23. A
surprise speaker, flown in
especially for the occasion,
will initiate the festivites at 10
a.m. Later, square dancing,
displays, and a play entitled,
"I Shall Fight No More
Forever" will be offered.
The completed log cabin
(storage shed size) will be
auctioned off with the
proceeds donated to the
restoration of the townsite of
Roseberry.
Visitors are welcome at
anytime and have been asked
to phone the school or stop at
the principal's office before

DONNELLY — Peeling and notching logs, fitting legs to stools and making wooden
mallets have all been part of the current M -D Junior High "Bicentennial' project, for
which an open house is slated Friday morning. The log cabin in the rear is one of the end
results and will later be given to the kindergarten in McCall for a playhouse.
Letters to
the Editor
Letter to Editor
The Bicentennial history
project at M -D Jr. High was a
fine example of the
willingness of the community
to be involved in education.
Many people pitched in to
make the program a success.
Ray Arnold donated both
time and expense to fly our
guest speaker, Sylvan
"Buckskin Bill" Hart, out of
the backcountry. Ernie
Jordan patiently taught
square dancing every day,
including his lunch "break ",
for the entire two weeks.
Bruce Yergenson supervised
construction of the log cabin
that has been donated to the
elementary school
playground. Bruce supplied
all materials and his ex-
pertise, while the U.S. Forest
Service covered his regular
wages.
Volunteer instructors were

dars are made up of events
and details submitted on a
voluntary basis by com-
munity sponsors involved in
Bicentennial planning.
Though many events may not
be listed, the ARBA has said
that it considers each
publication a representative
listing for individuals plan-
ning to attend Bicentennial
activities.
FLY YOUR FLAG!
The Bicentennial Com-
mittee of the McCall Area
Chamber of Commerce has

How many people think of Idaho ethnic groups solely
as Indian or Basque? What of Idaho's Finnish colony?
Each fall in Long Valley, located between McCall and
Donnelly, descendants of Finlanders stage events at
both Roseberry and Lakefork, featuring Finn bread,
hand - loomed rugs and other types of Finnish home -
crafted items.
In the meantime, the Long Valley Museum has been
selected as an official Bicentennial point of interest
and will be designated as such on 1976 state highway
maps. A red, white and blue "trail blazer" maker will
be erected in Donnelly, pointing the way to Roseberry.

Successful folk dance festival held
CASCADE - -Cascade's first
of many scheduled Bicen-
tennial events was a folk
dance festival held May 29th
at the high school gym. The
affair was hosted by the
Ponderosa Promenaders
square dance club of McCall
and attended by ap-
proximately 100 square and
round dancers from the Boise
Valley area.
In honor of the Bicen-
tennial, the gym was
decorated in red, white and
blue streamers with giant-
sized Uncle Sam hats around
the walls. The refreshment
tables also carried out the
Bicentennial theme.
It was most appropriate
that a square and round
dance festival be a part of
Valley county's Bicentennial
activities, since the square
dance has been proclaimed
the official folk dance of the
United States. Although there
have been many changes and
innovations throughout the
years, the square dance was
developed from the "hoe-
downs" that were a part of
pioneer social life.
Memorial Day concert slated
The Valley County
Bicentennial Commission will
be sponsoring a special
outdoor concert by the 25th
Army Band. This salute to
our nation's bicentennial will
be Sunday, May 30th, at 4
p.m. at Ponderosa State
Park. The public is invited
free of charge.

MCCALL— The 25th Army Band of the Idaho National Guard will appear at Ponderosa
State Park at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 30th, in a musical salute to the nation's Bicentennial.
Now directed by MSG Jerry Howard, the nationally recognized band had a weekly TV
series in New York City in the 1950's, was the official 1960 National Guard convention
band, entertained during the 1961 national Jaycee convention, and represented Idaho at
Expo'74 in Spokane. It has appeared twice before in concerts here.

COLD KITE — Benjamin Franklin and his famous kite were
never so frozsn as they were in this Idaho winter sculpture.
Even the small key hanging beneath the kite was made of
ice. Visitors from all over the Pacific Northwest participated
in the sculpture competition.
WINTRY PIONEER — Boys admire giant snow sculpture of
pioneer sheriff carved for recent Winter Carnival in McCall,
Idaho. Ample supply of snow mixed with water provided
slush used to fashion a variety of ice images including
Liberty Boys marching with flag, drum and fife; an Old
North Church, and a silver dollar, all in keeping with Bicen-
tennial theme.

Sunny skies and excitement pre-
vailed Saturday in Washington, D.C.,
where the Vallivue Falc -Ettes drill
team joined 16,000 marching young-
sters in the mile -long Cherry Blossom

The Falc -Ettes were selected as run-
ners-up in the parade competition, but
did not make the final rounds.
Alma Wright, mother of drill team
advisor Susan Seitz, said in a telephone
interview from Washington that the
Caldwell area young people did not
wait until the afternoon -long parade to,
get excited. Many of them had not
been on an airplane before and were
delighted with the trip from Boise.
After the parade, the team, six
drummers, 14 parents and Seitz took a
special tour of the national's Capital
arranged by Idaho Sen. Frank
Church's office. Today they are vis-
iting Mount Vernon. They will fly to

celebrations have already taken place.
The McCall area Chamber of Co�ar erce has had a t;useum and Bicentennial

(Name of Community)
In listing these activities on this form, we understand that the inclusion of at least one activity for each of the three
thematic areas (Heritage '76; Festival USA; Horizons '76) is highly desired by the national AR BA because it increases
awareness of the full scope of the Nation's Bicentennial program "A past to remember; a future to mold." We also
understand that we must have at least one LASTING REMINDER (marked with an "X "). We acknowledge that the
ARBA expects complete thematic coverage, not necessarily in the beginning, but at least during the full development
and expansion of our Bicentennial Community program.

Dear Alumni,
A "SUPS
graduates of Cascade High School between
years of 1921 and 1956 is being planne or Au us^ t 13 and 14 of 1926. This will
in conjunction with the Long Valley Potlucc Pioneer Picnic which is scheduled for
Sunday, August 15, 1976.
the
be
This reunion is not restricted to Cascade graduates and families. Anyone who
attended Cascade High School during those years is urged to attend and it is hoped
that many of our instructors will be present.
The reunion will begin Friday evening, August 13th, with registration and a
no -host social evening at the Legion Club House located on the corner of the athletic
field. The registration fee will be $4 per alumnus.
Tentative plans call for a continuation of registration at the school house on
Saturday morning with a beefburger fry and potluck Saturday afternoon on the school
grounds and in the cafeteria. This will be followed with a late afternoon get - together,
program, and evening dance in the school's new cafeteria. Please bring old and new
pictures, school newspapers, memories, stories, and other things to share. If you have
a school sweater with the familiar purple and gold colors, please wear it. Let's let
Cascade know we're in town.
Awards will be given for several things. Among these will be an award for the
class with the largest percent of attendance per living graduates. The 1932 class won
this honor in 1970 with only one missing out of sixteen members. Another award will
be for the graduate traveling the greatest distance.
Won't you please keep this SUPER BICENTENNIAL REUNION in mind as you make your
vacation plans for 1976? What a grand opportunity to renew acquaintance with old -time
friends, relatives, and places. Go fishing, boating, swimming, or golf at the edge
of the lake. If you have a self - contained camper, you may camp right by the Legion
Club House as a group if you wish. You can pitch a tent or camp at Cascade Park by
the boat dock or camp elsewhere on beautiful Lake Cascade. For those who want more of
the comforts of home, there are motels and West Mountain Lodge and Cabins at Cascade;
two lodges with cabins at Warm Lake, 25 miles away on a paved road; and lodges, cabins,
motels and a hotel at McCall, 30 miles from Cascade on the Payette Lakes.
If you have any questions concerning the reunion, please contact Mrs. Nellie
Francis Downend at 382 -4261 or Mrs. Marilyn Kerby Callender at 382 -4440 or write to
either one at Cascade 83611. They are serving as co- chairmen and will welcome your
suggestions and help towards making this an "outstanding event."
Up -to -date and missing addresses are needed for several classmates. Please see
the enclosed list of missing addresses and help us if you have any information
concerning these people. If you have new addresses for others not on the list please
send them, too. 1970 is the latest address we have for many of our graduates.
The Bicentennial Year is here and the Cascade High Reunion is coming! The years:
1921 when Cascade School opened it's doors through 1956. A super reunion. Let's
make it a big success by passing the word around this year in hopes that YOU and many
others will be able to attend next year on AUGUST 13, 14, and 15, 1976.
See you there. /0- 5 -7.5

Dear Bicentennial Chairperson:
Permit me to extend my somewhat belated congratulations
to you and your Committee on the fine work in getting
your county nationally recognized as an ARBA Bicentennial.
Community. We well know the many long and arduous hours
it takes to bring to fruition your original dreams. You
and your Committee have well earned your reward, but as
we both know, the work has really just begun. To keep
enthusiasm high, to jog the tired and weary, to see your
plans and projects become reality -- requires persistent
determination. We are confident that you will succeed
in this endeavor, which our country so richly deserves.
Enclosed are several blank BINET Forms for both projects
and events. We would ask that you complete an individual
form for the program activities which you submitted in
your application, as well as for any subsequent plans or
events you may have generated, in order that they may be
entered in the ARBA Official Master Register for Bicenten-
nial Activities. If forms have already been forwarded on
any of these activities, please do not duplicate. These
forms should be returned to:
ARBA
Master Calendar Services Div.
2401 E Street, %-. W.
Washington, D. C. 20276
We urge you to do this so that your Committee's endeavors
are properly recorded for posterity, and, further, that
others across the Nation will be aware of your accomplish-
ments. Should you require additional forms you may contact
your State Bicentennial Commission, c/o The Governor's
Office, State Capitol.
We wish you continued success in your future Bicentennial.
endeavors. Your county can indeed be proud that it has
joined the many other communities across the Nation who
have collaborated to make the commemoration of our Nation's
200th Anniversary a meaningful experience.
Sincerely,
John Nolan

Dear I$x. Neil:
'n behUf of the Cha.,ber of Commerce, The Lon- Malley 7reservl-:tion Society,
Inc. and the ?onderosa State Park crew, I would like to extend our sincere
thanks to you for taking, time to come up and help us kick off our
Bicentennial Celebration.
7ven though we had a slow start, with not as much finesse and enthusi:tAsm
as we had hoped for, Sunday Trade up for it. For the trip from Donnelly to
Roseberry the 7agon was followed by three other wagons, about 2.5 riders and
a long_, line of cars. During the afte noon over 300 people were fed and there
was a lot of old fashioned visiting and fun.
resentati_en of the scrolls to the :ayors of Donnelly and Roseberry, with
their wives, all in pioneer dress on the perch of the old store was truly
nostalgic.
'"he , seuc Fund realized almost jr,300.00 from the events and we felt the
week-end was a big success. Hiohlight of the celebration for rye was riding
in the wagon from Roseberry to the Woints ranch on the Gold Fork Sunday
evening.
Again, thank you for joining us and please extend my best regards to your
lovely wife, John 'Marcus and Andrew. and I'll look forward to visiting
with you again.

service, farrier service, shoes as deemed necessary by the wagon master, and
covered with liability insurance.
Teamsters will be fed and housed on the trail by the National Macon Train from
support vehicles and crew from a motorized van or camper.
It will be necessary for Idaho to provide a four -horse team to pull the Idaho
wagon across Idaho and lWyoming in 1975 to Fort Laramie. It also appears necessary
for Idaho to provide relief teams across Idaho for the other official wagons in

At St. Joseph, Missouri state wagons'.will be.loaded,'on barges for the balance
of the trip. Idaho horses and drivers will then be transported back to Idaho.

BICENTENOUAL WAGON TRAIN PILGRIMAGE
IDAHO FACT SHEET
The national wagon train arrives at the Idaho /Oregon border at Old Fort
Boise, near Parma on August 1. The !wagon train at this time will consist
of a lead Pennsylvania wagon, which also breaks down into a stage for
performances at nightly encampments, wagons from Alaska, !-lashington, Oregon;
and Idaho and also a chuck wagon. There will also be five official Idaho
State outriders. Five outriders will be provided by each state that the
wagon train is passing through. Idaho outriders responsibilities will
start at the Idaho /Oregon border and end at the Idaho /Ylyoming border. Then
Wyoming will provide outriders from its state line to Laramie.
The train will proceed from Old Fort Boise near Parma across the State of
Idaho. The trail will average approximately 20 miles per day. I-le have 24
days to complete the trek across Idaho.
At the nightly encampments in communities a professional cast of actors
traveling with the train will put on a lively 55 minute historical inter-
pretation on America. Local communities will also be invited to provide
added entertainment, such as Old Time Fiddlers, square dancers, singing,
etc.
Wile the train is passing through Idaho, coordination will be made with
4 -ul Clubs and youth riding clubs to deliver the scrolls to the wagon tiain
by pony express riders. Plans are to have the scrolls signed and delivered
from the northernmost town in Idaho.
Travel on or near the Oregon Trail is planned when feasible to make this
festive event as authentic as possible. Those remaining historical wagon
ruts on the Oregon Trail will be avoided in order that their historical
value will not be destroyed.
It is estimated that the official state wagon train will reach Smoot,
lJyoming on or about August 24. It will then proceed through 1.4yoming and
arrive in Fort Laramie on or about:N &vember 1. Here the wagons will em-
camp for the winter and all horses and people following along with the train
will return to their respective states.
Personnel from Idaho which are needed for the Idaho wagon and train in-
clude:
1 - Teamster: This man will provide the team of horses to pull the
wagon.
2 - Assistant Teamster: At the discretion of the teamster.
3 - Five Outriders: Through Idaho only. Food and lodging for the
outriders and feed for their horses will be provided through Idaho
only. If they wish to continue to follo!,w the !wagon through !lyoming,
it will be at their own expense.
4 - Individual to drive motorized vehicle to support Idaho wagon:
Station l�agon and Airstream Trailer. This person will receive
food and lodging for as long as he drives the vehicle.
5 - Pony Express Riders: Volunteers from communities.
Anyone that wants to ride their own horse along or drive their own team and
wagon through Idaho may do so. These individuals are welcome to join the
train at any point and they are free to leave the train as they !dish. How-
ever, they must provide their own food and must obey the directions of the
!wagon master as long as they are a part of the train. Persons wishing to
join the train to ride along will be asked to sign an agreement that they
will support the instructions of the !wagon master.
If a person wishes to ride all the way back to Valley Forge or even to
Fort Laramie we must be informed in advance for planning purposes.
April 1 - July 4, 1975. During this phase the horses will be shipped back
to Fort Laramie and the wagon train will continue on to St. Joe, Missouri,
At St. Joe, the wagons will be placed on barges for the last leg of the
journey to Valley Forge. The horses and wagon personnel will then be
shipped back from St. Joe to their respective states. In Pennsylvania,
arrangements have been made for teams to pull the wagon from where it un-
loads off of the barge into Valley Forge to be there July 4, 1975.
The wagon will then
parks. The scrolls
on display at Valley
Questions & Answers
be shipped to

Forge.
Idaho and placed in one of our state
will carry from Idaho will be placed
Q 1. If I wish to, is there money available for me to go?
A 1. If you are providing a team of horses for the official state wagon,
there will be $35 per day to that person during the time that he
provides the hitch. It is not meant as a salary, but as a gratuity
payment for the use of that team.
Q 2. Can
I just ride along if I wish to?
A 2. Yes,
you can ride along, but there are two requirements you must
fulfill.
The person riding along must do it at his own expense,
provide
his ot,in food for himself and his horse(s). He must also
sign
an agreement with the wagon master stating that he will follow
his
instructions and directions during the time that he is riding
with
the train. It is recommended that the person riding along do
so within
his state only. But if they wish to go further, they
may.
!,le must be informed in advance if a person wishes to travel
past
the Idaho border for the planning of logistics.
!� 3. If I
want to take my own wagon and team, may I?
A 3. Yes.
Again, the requirements are the same as if you are riding
your
otwn horse. You must provide your own way, provide your own
food
and feed for your horses, and you must sign the agreement
with
the wagon master stating that you will be responsible for your
own
actions.
Q 4. If I
take my own wagon, will a barge be available from St. Joe,
Missouri
to transport me to Valley Forge?
A 4. Yes,
if we know of your intention to go on the barge, at your own
expense,
in advance.
Q 5. If I
take a wagon, may it have inflated tires?
A 5. No.
Q 5. How many persons will each !wagon carry?
A 6. The only official member recognized is the teamster of the waqon.
If the teamster wishes to take his family along, it is completely
permissible.
Q 7. I,!hat makes up the official wagon train members from Idaho?
A 7. I'lembers of the official wagon train will be: the teamster, the per-
son driving the motorized vehicle and Airstream mobile home unit,
five outriders.
Q 3. If I am an outrider through Idaho, may I ride on through Uyoming?
A 3. Yes, you may. You will ride through Idaho as an official out -
rider, and when we hit the !1yoming border, Ilyoming will provide the

BICENTENNIAL WAGON TRAIN PILGRIMAGE
(Divided into three phases for planning purposes)
March 1 -- August 1, 1975
Phase I - Delivery of wagon to Idaho on or about March 1, 1975.
The wagon will then be displayed throughout the state prior to
joining the national wagon on August 1. This prarie schooner
when delivered will come with a station wagon and flatbed
trailer to transport the wagon. (Station wagon and prarie schooner
will be fully insured).
Counties within the state have been assigned to the state parks
in or near those counties for coordination of display of wagons
to communities. To avoid the problem of the wagon being scheduled
at the north end of the state and then to the southern part of the
state and then back north again, a schedule has been prepared.
Each state park has been assigned counties adjacent to that
park and a block of dates during which the wagon will be avail-
able to those communities. It is up to each indiidual P a k
Manager to use these dates as effectively as possible
to schedule communities within this block of dates to correspond
with special events which might be occurring there such as
rodeos, fairs, etc. Events might be planned around the wagon
such as signing of the scrolls. Hopefully, the scrolls that
are mentioned in the brochure will be available for citizens
to sign. It is important that schools become involved in this
activity. Equipment that will come with the wagon is:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Projector
Cassette Tape Recorder
Screen
Oregon Trail Slide Presentation
(Approximately 20 minutes in length)
Handouts
team of horses onto the wagon and pull it
If you want to hook a
around or into the communities, it is permissible. Every effort
should be made to insure that the wagon is kept in good condition
for the horse -drawn trek across the United States. No harness
will be available heiththe
wh000wnslthe hitch usuallydhap ao a hitch is

Phase II - August 1 to November 1, 1975. Phase II is the period
from August 1, 1973 to November, 1975. This is when the national
wagon train arrives at the Idaho /Oregon border at old Fort Boise,
near Parma. The wagon train at this time will consist of a lead
Pennsylvania wagon, which also breaks down into a stage forner-
formances at nightly encampments, wagons from Alaska,
Oregon, Idaho and also a chuck wagon. There will also be five
official Idaho state outriders. Five outriders will be provided
i

and end at the Idaho/Wyoming border .
outriders from its state line to Laramie.
The -train will proceed from old Fort Boise across the State of
Idaho. The train will average approximately 20 miles per day.
We have 24 days to complete the trek across Idaho.
At the nightly encampments in communities a professional cast
of actors traveling with the train will put on a lively SS
minute historical interpretation on America. Local communities
will also be invited to provide added entertainment, such as
Old Time Fiddlers, square dancers, singing, etc.
While the train is passing through Idaho coordination will
have been made with 4 -H clubs and youth riding clubs to de-
liver the scrolls to the wagon train by pony express riders.
Plans are to have the scrolls signed and delivered from the
northernmost town in Idaho.
Travel on or near the Oregon Trail is planned when feasible to
make this festive event as authentic as possible. Those
remaining historical wagon ruts on the Oregon Trail will be
avoided in order that their historical value will not be de-
stroyed.
It is estimated that the official state wagon train will
reach Smoot, Wyoming on or about August 24. It will then
proceed through Wyoming and arrive in Fort Laramie on or
about November 1. Here the wagons will encamp for the winter
and all horses and people following along with the train will
return to their perspective states.
Personnel from Idaho which are needed for the Idaho wagon and
train include:
1. Teamster: This man will provide the team of horses
to pull the wagon. He will receive a gratuity payment
for use of the team.
2. Assistant Teamster: At the discretion of the teamster.
He may also want to take his family along.
3. Five Outriders: Through Idaho only. Food and lodging
for the outriders and feed for their horses will be
provided through Idaho only. If they wish to continue
to follow the wagon through Wyoming, it will be at their
own expense.
4. Individual to drive motorized vehicle to support Idaho
wagon: Station wagon and Airstream trailer. This per-
son will receive food and lodging for as 'Long as he
drives the vehicle.
S. Pony Express Riders: Volunteers from communities.
Anyone that is not apart of the personnel for the official
wagon train, but wants to ride their own horse along or drive
their own team and wagon, may do so. These individuals are
welcome to join the train at any point and they are free to
leave the train as they wish. however, they must provide their
own food and must obey the directions of the wagon master as
long as they are a part of the train. Persons wishing to join
the train to ride along will be asked to sign an agreement
stating that they will support the instructions of the wagon
master.
If a person wishes to ride all the way back to Valley Forge or
even to Fort Laramie, we must be informed in advance for planning
purposes.
Phase III - April 1 - July 4, 1976. During this phase the horses
will be shipped back to Fort Laramie and the wagon train will
continue on to St. Joe, Missouri. At St. Joe, the wagons will
be placed on barges for the last leg of the journey to Valley
Forge. The horses and wagon personnel will then be shipped
back from St. Joe to their perspective states. In Pennsylvania,
arrangements have been made for teams to pull the wagon from
where it unloads off of the barge into Valley Forge to be
there July 4, 1976. The wagon will then be shipped back to
Idaho and placed in one of our state parks. The scrolls that
our wagon will carry from Idaho will be placed on display at
Valley Forge.
Questions $ Answers -
Q 1. If I wish to, is there money available for me to go?
A 1. If you are providing a team of horses for the official state
wagon, there will be $3S per day to that person during the
time that he provides the hitch. It is not meant as a salary,
but as a gratuity payment for the use of that team.
Q 2. Can I just ride along if I wish to?
A 2. Yes, you can ride along, but there are two requirements
you must fulfill. The person riding along must do it
at his own expense, provide his own food for himself
and his horse(s). He must also sign an agreement with
the wagon master stating that he will follow his in-
structions and directions during the time that he is
riding with the train. It is recommended that the per-
son riding along;do so within his state only. But if
they wish to go further, they may. We must be informed
in advance if a person wishes to travel past the Idaho
border for the planning of logistics.
Q 3. If I want to take my own wagon and team, may I?
A 3. Yes. Again, the requirements are the same as if you are
riding your own horse. You must provide your own way,
provide your own food and feed for your horses, and
you must sign the agreement with the wagon master stating
that you will be responsible for your own actions.
