Block Party Saturday To Be Treat For Everyone
“Don’t look for a baby-sitter this Saturday take the whole family to the Willow Place Block Party instead!”

That’s the advice from the Willow Town Association, which says special care has been taken to provide fun for children as well as adults.

This biggest best Block Party yet (the Association has run two others) will run from 7 to 11 P.M. on Willow Place, just below Hicks, between Joralemon and State Streets.

Rides on a real, live pony and in a Pony Cart will highlight the lists of juvenile attractions this Saturday. The ponies will be installed in the vacant lot which will become a new playlot for older boys through the proceeds of the Block Party. There’ll also be a Whip Ride for children….

…Headed by Mrs. Robert Burtch, Chairman of the Block Party, the Committees include (in addition to those published last week):

Finance Committee—Mrs. Edward Evangelista, Chrmn., 30 Joralemon; Mrs. Robert Burtch, 24 Willow Pl.; Richard Lazarus, 59 Joralemon;

Entertainment—Mr. & Mrs. Spencer Ivey, 18 Willow Place; Michael Howard, 68 Montague;

Publicity—Victor Moscoso, 52 State St.; Miss Dolores Carluccio, 30 Joralemon; Richard Mendes, 62 Joralemon; Mrs. James Wishart, 63 Joralemon.
