It is still run- ning and keeping good time in the Trabue home, where Mrs. Trabue will be glad to exhibit the time piece to anyone interested. — Sept. 4, 1924 90YEARSAGO...

WRITERS FORUM Diversity in children's literature with Linda Boyden By Kathy Bramhall The Tehama District Fair's Wild Ride is coming Sept. 25-28. Entry dead- lines in some Divisions have come and gone—but if you are entering in the Floral Division, deadline is Sept. 19. We have an exciting new show for the Flo- ral Division as Red Bluff Garden Club has joined the Tehama District Fair in supporting the Floral Division, not just deco- rating, taking entries and judging as in past years. In addition this year Gar- den Club helped Toney James re-write the Floral Division of the Exhibitor Handbook. We are sup- porting the entry costs— note the entry fee is only $1 for each entry—and are also donating new ribbons and cash prizes. Here is your opportu- nity to show off the hard work you've put into your gardening and your skill as a floral designer. Try classes for Container Plants Grown for Flow- ers and Container Plants Grown for Foliage. If you have African vio- lets or Orchids in bloom— enter them. If you have lovely ferns or gerani- ums—enter them! If you have an unusual plant or a plant thriving in an unusual container— show us. If you have a combination planting of cacti or succulents—show fairgoers what you do. We also have classes for Arboreal Cut Branches— enter a cut branch you've grown in your garden up and earn a chance to will the Arboreal Award Rib- bon and the $25 premium. How easy is that? Show off your cut flow- ers—we have classes for everything from asters to zinnias. Only one show this year—we receive en- tries only 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Wednesday, Sept. 24. Now take those plant materials you grow, or some you purchase and try floral design. We have a Design- er's Choice Division—you choose what plant mate- rials and components you want in your design. The All Dry Division requires all dry plant material. The All Fresh Division re- quires all fresh plant ma- terial—no painting—bend- ing, twisting, or trimming are okay. The Division for Small/ Miniature Designs is al- ways fun, all designs must be less than 8" overall. The popular Table Set- tings Division is back with more challenges— each design must include some dishes and/or bever- age containers, a napkin and/or table cover and a floral design. Each design division has an opportunity to win a ribbon and cash prize. If you have any questions about these, call me at 527-9403. The Shadow Box Di- vision is back. Give us your interpretation of 'Wild Ride', 'Sea Side' and .Farmer's Market'. Garden Club is awarding a special Artistic Crafts Ribbon for the winning wreath, wall hanging or decorated hat—remember, each en- try must include some plant material.
