She's Done - Let's Dance!
That was the headline of an article published in The Fowlerville Review in 1962. The rest of the article follows:
Frank's IGA Foodliner, which will provide the Fowlerville area with top super-market shopping convenience, will be open in these new quarters on December 10th. To celebrate the completion of the building, Frank announces a dance tonight (Wednesday) from 9:00 to 12:00. You are cordially invited to dance to the music of Jo's Band with Riby Holmes calling the squares. Admission is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
In January, 1963, the following was reported:
Thousands Attend Opening of Frank's Foodliner~~Thousands attended the grand opening of Frank's Foodliner during the three-day celebration of the opening of this new modern food shopping center.
The many friendly tokens of congratulations in the form of flower arrangements added to the attractiveness of the store.
A cake made in replica of the Foodliner decorated the table from which refreshments were served, Mrs. Ruth Grill acting as hostess.
Clowns, for the pleasure of the children, music, and the giving of prizes all lent a festive air to the occasion.
C.L. Ramsey of Howell was the winner of the grand prize of a portable tv; bicycles were won by Mary Stinnett of Webberville, Kip Tait of Fowlerville; the electric trains by Rusty Weaver and Tom Tannar of Fowlerville; the doll by Nancy Russell.
So . . . anyone out there remember this? Maybe attended?
