Lots of Activity at 4H Carnival on Saturday
July 21, 1976
FOURTH ACTIVITIES – The busiest place in Susanville on Saturday was undoubtedly the Lassen County Fairgrounds where the 4-H Carnival was in progress, the Susanville Recreation Department sponsored contests and a large fireworks display was touched off at about 9p.m.
In top photo, Bobbie Eagle of Standish gets an unscheduled dunking by fellow, but competing, 4-H members from Shaffer.
The dunking tank was part of the Shaffer 4-H project at the Bicentennial celebration held at the fairgrounds. The pool was late in being erected because of a leak and Bobbie was “chosen” to initiate the tank.
