Historical Society  Museum Features Antique Carousels
On Sunday, Sept. 27th, at 2:00 P.M. the McHenry County Historical Society Museum in Union will present a completely unique program on antique carousels. The featured speaker will be Patricia Tanner of Oakwood Hills, an artist and lecturer, speciaUzing in carousel designs.
Through a slide presenta¬ tion, lecture, and a sample of one of the Tanner Carousel carved figures, Mrs. Tanner will take museum visitors into the exciting world of the merry-go-round which was one of America's most popular forms of entertainment be¬ tween 1865 and 1930. These wood carved masterpieces have long fascinated the public and, today, their beauty is valued highly in the world of fine arts. As part of American heritage, they need to be preserved.

Bike  For  Breath Builds Toward Next  Year
Last Sunday the first annual "Igg's Bike-For- Breath" was held in Huntley. The starting point for the adult run was at "Igg's Parkside Tap in Huntley and the start for the Family Run at the north end of the Fox River Shore Trail, in Elgin. The Bike-For-Breath is a Bike-A-Thon held to help raise funds as well as public awareness for Cystic Fibrosis. This year the bike run raised over $5,000 and at this time the figures are incomplete on what the pig roast raised. Lori Nolan of the Cystic Fibrosis foundation explained that the turnout was not as high as estimated, but attributed this to the weather and the fact that this is the first year for a Bike-A-Thon in Huntley. Although she was very pleased to see all the support Huntley gave to this event, she also told of the plans that are already in progress for next year's ride.

Huntley Booster Club
The Huntley parents and concerned citizens are so very proud of the High Schools student body. Sure, the kids have had a major set back but they're certainly- making up for years of lost time and talent.
Reorganized with the sup¬ port of their followers, our youths have a new found determination, a spirit that Huntley hasn't seen in a long time. It's not only within the halls of H.H.S. and on the footbaU field. The parents are enthusiastic, too.
The Huntley Booster Club is trying to organize this spirit and channel it in one positive direction: That of supporting our athletes. At this time we would appre¬ ciate, the help of the com¬ munity, by asking each con¬ cerned citizen to tie a red ribbon around a tree. Letting todays athletes know we care and that they have our full support.
Thank You. Huntley Booster Club
