Dear friends and visitors,As mayor, I invite you and your family to imagine

the fun you will have as our community welcomes you to the city of Marysville, proud home of the 81st Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival and Twilight Grand Parade. The Strawberry Festival celebrates the annual berry harvest, and the colorful role that these famous berries have played as a part of Marys-ville’s rich agricultural heritage. This year’s festival promises to be more dazzling and pageantry-� lled than ever.

The Marysville Strawberry Festival is one of the longest ongoing festivals in Washington state, and ranks among the most recognized strawberry festi-vals in the nation.

We invite you to join the thousands of families from around the Paci� c Northwest and parts beyond who come to enjoy the full spectacle of summertime fun, food and events spread over several days.

The Strawberry Festival is about bringing people together as a community, and extending that sense of belonging to all visitors. In that spirit of inclusive-ness, we proudly welcome you to our great city!

On behalf of the Tulalip Tribes, welcome to “Just Imagine,” our 81st Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival! This year’s multi-cultural theme is also a re� ection of the broad diversity of our region.

The Tulalip Tribes share a strong partnership with Marys-ville, Everett and Snohomish County. As the region’s � rst ambassadors, we thrived on and along the waterways of Puget Sound and the Paci� c thousands of years before the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855 brought the Snohomish, Snoqualmie, Skykom-ish and other tribes and bands together on the Tulalip Reserva-tion.

Together as friends, neighbors and partners in economic de-velopment, we hope this festival offers a peek at the entertain-ment, culture, history and other opportunities our area offers.

During festivities, we invite you to visit our new Hibulb Cultural Center, a quarter mile down Marine Drive on the left as you enter the Reservation. And please also consider visiting our nationally acclaimed Tulalip Resort Casino, Seattle Premium outlet mall, our amphitheater and restaurants all on the west side of I-5. Your vital business and support funds education, environmental restoration, social services, health care, law en-forcement and art/culture for both Tribal membership and the surrounding region.

Enjoy your visit and please come back soon.We really thank you,

Mel Sheldon Jr.Chairman� e Tulalip Tribes

Marysville Strawberry Fes-tival Royalty Queen Briauna Hansen, a senior at Marysville Getchell High School, sees her title as a means of serving as a role model for other youth.

“You need to be seen express-ing responsible citizenship to the towns that you visit,” Han-sen said. “At the same time, when you’re wearing a crown, it’s so easy to make people in the crowds feel important by point-ing them out and saying, ‘Hey, I notice you.’”

Hansen, who also won the Bob Klepper Miss Congenial-ity Award, has volunteered at food banks, battered women’s shelters and the KIDStage In-stitute, which promotes acting for kids.

For her candidacy speech, Hansen asked her listeners to “Just imagine a revitalized downtown Marysville,” and outlined some very speci� c steps

that she believes would bene� t the city’s businesses and fos-ter a stronger sense of commu-nity, from mixed-use buildings which combine ground-� oor businesses with upper-� oor residences, to architectural styles that would create a more consistent look for the city’s merchants while also affording cover from the rain and extra vantage points for parades.

“A close community means people will take care of each other, their businesses and their surroundings,” Hansen said. “People still think of this as a bedroom community. We have so much to offer, but we need to show it.”

When asked what advice she would give to young people, Hansen urged them to remain strongly motivated. Hansen’s mom Andee, dad Mike and stepmom Corina all cited Bri-auna’s hard work and commu-

nity service on behalf of her hometown.

“She’s a wonderful role model for other kids,” Andee Hansen said.

“I’ve been putting my heart into my home for the longest time,” Briauna Hansen said. “I want people to know how much I love where I come from.”

In the meantime, Briauna Hansen admitted that her packed itinerary has occasion-ally been wearying, but insist-ed that it’s all been worth it.

“It makes me so happy to see everyone’s smiling faces,” Han-sen said. “By the time I’m done for the day, I’m so physically tired I can barely take my gown off and take a shower, but if you make the best of it and put on your happy face, then the folks who take the time to come out and see you will have more fun because you’re having fun.”

Hansen garners title as Senior Royalty Queen

Marysville Strawberry Festival Royalty Queen Briauna Hansen appreciates her opportunity to serve as a positive role model for other young people.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 19, 1969 — The big attraction of Marysville Strawberry Festival week is always the parade held on Saturday morning following other weekly activities and before the conclusion of the week on the following Sunday.

This year there were 87 entries in the parade, involving the work of many clubs, businesses and individuals. Frank Harvey of Marysville VFW Post 5671 was Parade Marshall. Honored guests from all veterans’ organizations either rode or marched in the parade. Stanwood American Legion Post provided the color guard leading the parade.

The general impression gathered from spectators was that it was a good parade with a variety of interesting entries. Strawberry shortcake was served by WOTM throughout the day at City Park and on the streets. The Strawberry Ball concluded the action fi lled day.

The Strawberry Court included Queen Sylvia Lee, fi rst runner-up Pamela Car-penter, second runner-up Wendy Human, third runner-up Denise Barton and fourth runner-up Glenda Campbell.

Marysville Strawberry Festival Royalty Prince Lars Kundu, a junior at Marysville Getchell High School, entered this year’s pageant to broaden his horizons.

“I’ve been meeting all the ladies,” Kundu smiled, before turning serious. “It’s been re-ally great to meet people from all these dif-ferent areas that we’ve traveled to already. There’s an amazing sense of companionship among those who, like us, are representing their towns at each of these events, and all of the towns have come out to support us at our appearances.”

Lars Kundu is the younger brother of for-mer Senior Royalty Prince Erik Kundu, and he’s admitted to � nding his brother’s sched-ule from last year to be a bit challenging to keep up with.

“Waking up on time is tough,” Lars Kun-du said. “You really have to keep up your en-ergy to stay awake sometimes during the long days. Also, I still don’t know how to dance,” he laughed, referring to the dances that he and his fellow Senior Royalty are still trying to coordinate on their � oat.

Lars Kundu nonetheless expressed con-� dence about the summer and year that lay

ahead for him, while parents Michael and Nola believe that the hectic pace of their son’s schedule will serve as an effective prepara-tion for real-life adult responsibilities.

“We kind of know what to expect now, af-ter Erik,” Nola Kundu said.

“We’re still hoping to keep some family time together, so it looks like we’ll be taking more trips,” Michael Kundu said.

During the candidates’ speeches, Lars Kundu evoked this year’s Strawberry Festi-val theme of “Just Imagine” by citing imagi-nation as a key component of humankind’s intellectual and social progress.

“The human mind is an unstoppable force,” Kundu said. “With it, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish, as a city and as a soci-ety.”

In the meantime, Kundu is looking forward to partaking of strawberry shortcake and of-fered advice to those who might be consider-ing following in his footsteps next year.

“Be prepared for anything,” Kundu said. “Have fun, meet as many people as you can, and take advantage of opportunities like the pancake breakfast,” he laughed, admitting that he slept through the breakfast.

Prince Kundu looks to broaden horizons

Marysville Strawberry Festival Royalty Prince Lars Kundu has enjoyed traveling and meeting new people.

Marysville Strawberry Festival Senior Royalty Princess Anna-Marie Mudd, a junior at Marysville Getchell High School, has dem-onstrated a positive attitude since making her candidacy speech on the evening of her crown-ing on March 1.

“I imagine that the sun will come up, that people can learn from their mistakes and that my bad day will always end,” Mudd told at-tendees of the Strawberry Festival Royalty coronation in the Marysville Library that night, when explaining her faith “that you can do better tomorrow than you’ve done today.”

In the weeks and months since then, Mudd has remained enthusiastic as she’s met the roy-alty of other cities and communities.

“They’ve all been a great bunch of people,” Mudd said. “With every new meeting comes the possibility of a lifelong friendship.”

After traveling to so many other festivals, what Mudd is most curious about is how her own hometown’s festival will turn out.

“I’ve been to the Strawberry Festival be-fore, of course, but not as Royalty,” Mudd said. “I hope to check out the Market again this year.”

Mudd joked with her fellow � oat dance-im-paired Senior Royalty Prince Lars Kundu that they should just do the YMCA dance as they’re cruising down State Avenue for the Grand Pa-rade. Mudd and Kundu were sharing moments of levity as far back as their coronation night, when judges asked Mudd which extinct spe-cies she would want to bring back.

“I wouldn’t want to bring dinosaurs back, because that could get messy,” Mudd said, before drawing laughter from the crowd by responding to Kundu’s tongue-in-cheek sug-gestion. “I don’t think we’ve ever really had unicorns, Lars.”

Mudd admitted to being “kind of speech-less” in the wake of her crowning, while mom Terri proudly described her daughter as a go-getter who would adjust to a schedule that Anna-Marie deemed “busy but fun.”

“She’s always been very independent,” Terri Mudd said. “At the same time, we’re her family, so we’ll be there to support her.”

“Just go for it,” Anna-Marie Mudd urged anyone who’s considering entering the Straw-berry Festival Royalty Pageant next year. “Do it and don’t hold back.”

Princess Mudd optimistic for the future

Marysville Strawberry Festival Senior Royalty Princess Anna-Marie Mudd encourages other kids not to hold back on pursuing their dreams.

June 19, 1947 — Sunny skies smiled on Marysville’s Strawberry Festival Satur-day, providing a perfect day for an outstandingly successful celebration which was witnessed by thousands of people. Estimates of the number of visitors varied, but most agreed that upwards of 8,000 people witnessed the parade, The booth at the city park served 5,500 plates of strawberry shortcake and whipped cream.

Floats of unusual beauty and design featured the parade of the 1947 Festival. The women’s clubs of the community produced such beautiful fl oral creations that descriptions would be diffi cult to attempt.

While the parade formed, the crowds were entertained by aerial exhibitions by three local pilots, Ben, Bob and Phil Sprague. Following the parade a speaking pro-gram at the city park was heard by festival crowds.

Immediately after the program, lines formed at the shortcake booth where gallons of ripe berries and huge mounds of whipped cream combined with thousands of squares of cake to produce Marysville’s famous festival feature.

Concerts, sports, and drum and bugle corps performances added to the day’s events.

Ever since their spring corona-tion, it’s been a whirlwind of activity for Strawberry Festival Junior Royal-ty Princesses Cheyenne Coe, Asheley Krutsinger, Vanessa Page and Angela Stefoglo, who are all sixth-grade stu-dents.

Page and Coe were a bit more chatty than Krutsinger and Stefoglo about the highlights of their experi-ences to date, including their visit to the Sequim parade.

“Riding in the car on the way to the parade was actually really fun,” Page said, “but the [Seattle Seafair] pirates were the best.”

“They danced with us during the parade,” Coe added. “On the way to the parade, we had time to play truth or dare, and to learn our dances.”

Angela Stefoglo, the younger sis-ter of former Senior Royalty Princess Ella Stefoglo, shares her big sister’s fondness for the waving crowds at parades, while Coe admitted to feel-ing a bit more shy.

“I still look forward to all the pa-rades, because they’re good opportu-nities to represent Marysville,” Coe

said.“It’s good to be outgoing and

open up,” Krutsinger agreed.Coe and Page noted that they’re

far less shy with those whom they already know, which is one of the things they’re looking forward to about coming back to their home-town for the Strawberry Festival. Stefoglo is eagerly anticipating a dif-ferent aspect of the festival.

“I’ll be entering the strawberry shortcake eating contest,” Stefoglo said. “I can eat it in two seconds,” she laughed.

Looking to their future, all four girls are very science-minded, with Coe and Krutsinger sharing plans to become veterinary technicians, while Page is leaning toward becom-ing a neonatal nurse and Stefoglo would like to become an electrical water engineer.

In the meantime, they’re seizing the moment and hoping others will follow their example.

“We want to show people that this is a great opportunity to be part of,” Stefoglo said.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 25, 1986 — Sunny skies … music and magic … classic cars and clowns … bangles and berries … all added up for an unforgettable Strawberry Festival for 1986. This year’s festivities were capped off Saturday by the Grand Parade. Grand Marshal Steve Pool, weather caster for KOMO-TV 4 in Seattle, cooperated with a perfect fi rst day of summer (though he admits his prediction Friday called for a less than good day).

Before the parade were a bevy of activities throughout the community, including a fashion show, talent show, trike race, kiddies parade, carnival, golf tournament, softball tournament, bowling tournament, crafts fair, bed race and more.

The 1986 Royalty included Queen Mandi Meyer and Princesses Meridith Corley, Cheryl-Lynn Tenney, Jaylene Sumrall and Dau Ho.

Cheryl Deckard has lived in Marys-ville for most of her life. “I’ve lived here since I was a year and a half, and I won’t tell you how old I am,” she laughed.

Deckard is no stranger to the Marysville Strawberry Festival. In fact, she has quite a history with the event and has helped shape it into what it is today — which is why be-ing the Grand Marshal of the parade seems to just make sense.

“I actively got involved with the festival in 1974,” said Deckard. “I owned a beauty shop downtown and a client said that they were thinking of not doing the Strawberry Festival be-cause there was no one to run it. Hav-ing grown up here, I thought that was sad.”

It was then that she began help-ing with the Strawberry Festival and kept working for 25 more years.

“When we � rst started there wasn’t much going on but we just kept adding events,” said Deckard. She was with the Maryfest organiza-

tion when they came up with the idea of the trike races.

“In those days, they would ride the trikes from Fourth Street south,” she said. “They had to go through each tavern and have a beer or a burger. It was really fun in those days.”

Deckard described other events that the Strawberry Festival boasted throughout the years. “We had soft-ball tournaments, soccer tournaments. We had a drum and bugle corps. We did all kinds of things.” Deckard even remembers having country singer Mel Tillis as a musical guest. “He played two shows at the high school,” she said. “People really enjoyed that.”

Deckard was surprised by receiv-ing the honor of being selected as the Grand Marshal — literally. She was walking through the casino with a friend when festival board member Carol Kapua surprised her.

“She does a lot of community ser-vice,” said Kapua. “She is the one who got me involved with the Straw-berry Festival and she’s done a lot for

it over the years.”Kapua said that members of the

public have nominated Deckard for the honor several times before now.

“I never would have guessed,” said Deckard. “I was very surprised.” Be-ing selected as Grand Marshal is just another part of being involved in the

Strawberry Festival for a woman who has been dedicated to the event for decades.

“I would say that my time doing the Strawberry Festival was the most rewarding experience of my life,” said Deckard. “I am proud of what I accomplished.”

Grand Marshal is a long-time Strawberry Festival volunteer

Cheryl Deckard is this year’s Strawberry Festival Grand Marshal.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 29, 1977 — Marysville hosted a humdinger of a Strawberry Festival last week. It was a gala, fun-fi lled celebration that began with the Strawberry Ball on the 18th and ended with Sunday’s happy ticket holder, Charles Kaska of Marysville, who won the $1,000 Maryfest drawing.

It was a success — physically and fi nancially, according to Dave Weiser, manag-ing director of Maryfest, the sponsoring organization.

Besides the spectators, shortcake and hotdog eaters, judges, offi cials and com-mittee chairperson, a great many winners emerged from the competitive events that were staged throughout the week including the fi ve thrilling races which made up the Marysville Road Race which attracted about 100 go-karters.

The 1977 Strawberry Festival Court included Queen Leslie Cruz and Princesses Cheryl Hyatt and Jill Moore.

Marysville’s own Robert “Bob” Landon, who was named Chief of the Washington State Patrol recently, served as the Grand Marshal of the Strawberry Festival Parade.

Ariel Jensen was surprised in 2010 when her cross country race times were consistently slower than her previous year. She didn’t really think much of it, but couldn’t explain why she was always tired.

“She was in 10th grade and not im-proving, even though she was working really hard,” said Jeff Sowards, Lake-wood High School cross country coach. “It’s more common than it’s known for female athletes to have anemia.”

Sowards suggested that Jensen head to the doctor to see if that was the root of her fatigue.

“My cross country coach wanted me to get my blood checked to see if I was anemic,” said Jensen, now 17. “That’s when I � rst found out.”

In October of 2010, the result of Jensen’s blood test showed that her blood count was low — really low.

“When my counts came back, they thought it was leukemia,” said Jensen. “I had a bone marrow biopsy and a spi-nal tap all within 48 hours of getting the results,” she said.

As she would later learn, it was not leukemia but a rare illness known as aplastic anemia.

“You can compare it to leukemia, but without the cancer cells,” said Jensen, a bright young woman and multi-sport athlete at Lakewood High School.

Aplastic anemia is a bone marrow de� ciency where the bone marrow does not produce enough red and white blood cells and platelets. Jensen began going to the Children’s Hospital in Se-attle and spent time with leukemia patients. “There’s usually only three to � ve aplastic anemia kids each year versus the 500-700 kids with leuke-mia,” said Jensen, who described her

� rst three months after discovering the disease as the most dif� cult. “Oc-tober, November and December of 2010 were the hardest. We were in and out of the hospital,” she said. Her mom, Jodi Jensen, said that the two to three weeks spent waiting for test re-sults were the hardest. Jensen had to drop out of school that semester due to the stress, but did thank her English teacher, Ms. Jane Wyatt, for spending extra time to help her complete the course.

Jensen requires two years of con-stant medication, followed by a year of tapering off the medicine. “Right now, all my blood counts are back to what they were before I found out,” said Jensen, who has a blood check ev-ery month.

“It’s something you’d never think would happen to your daughter,” said Jodi Jensen, Ariel’s mom. “She’s a trooper, she’s a strong girl.”

Although there are many types of treatment for aplastic anemia, the only permanent cure is a bone marrow transplant. Jensen’s brother Avery, 18, and sister Autumn, 13, both offered to be checked as matches, but ultimately did not match. Depending on if her counts drop again after the treatment, she may need a transplant or another round of drug therapy.

Recently, the Make-A-Wish Foun-dation granted Jensen with a wish — to attend the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Jensen was chosen in mid-May to represent Marysville as the President’s Marshal for the Strawberry Festival grand parade. She will ride in a car with banners from the Children’s Hos-pital and Make-A-Wish Foundation.

“Just Imagine” is the theme for this year’s Straw-berry Festival � oat, a grand design that features a spin-ning globe, the Eiffel Tower and the Space Needle.

The travel-themed � oat — which also boasts a num-ber of suitcases, airplanes, boats and motorcycles — has already traveled quite a bit this year, participating in � ve festivals and parades in the last two months. The � oat has made it to the Daf-fodil Festival in Tacoma, the Irrigation Festival in Se-quim, the Apple Blossom fes-tival in Wenatchee, the Lilac Festival in Spokane and the Hyack Festival in Vancouver, B.C., this spring.

The � oat is 45 feet by 14 feet by 13.5 feet and the dec-orations atop it are all scaled for the size of the vessel.

The idea for this year’s � oat has evolved over a span of some time, according to Strawberry Festival coordi-nators.

“It was discussed for about six months,” said Car-ol Kapua, parade co-director. “What we got � rst and what we’ve done since are two dif-ferent things. We had to re-do a few things in our own way.”

The � oat was originally sent to a builder in late Janu-ary and was ready for use in March. The two-month building process produced quite a detailed piece, but the Strawberry Festival co-ordinators chose to tweak some details to tailor it to their tastes. Once it is � n-ished being the highlight of the Strawberry Festival, the � oat will continue to travel

in various parades until the holiday season.

“It does 23 to 27 parades each year. There’s about one every weekend,” said Ka-pua.

And during its hometown parade, the � oat both repre-

sents the spirit of the festi-val and becomes the method of transportation for the royalty as well. The 2012 Strawberry Festival Royalty — Queen Briauna Hansen, Prince Lars Kundu and Prin-cess Anna-Marie Mudd—

will be the riding on the � oat in the Grand Parade, which is scheduled for June 16. The parade will take the Straw-berry Festival � oat, along with many other � oats and parade attendees down State Avenue in Marysville.

June 22, 1972 — Marysville’s Annual Strawberry Festival continues through its week of activities climaxed by the grand parade Saturday morning down the length of State Avenue in Marysville.

Last Sunday saw the kick off of the full week of events with the fi rst Jaycee Kid’s Fishing Derby. Tuesday the Marysville Chamber of Commerce enjoyed the annual salmon barbecue sponsored by the Tulalip Tribes at the Tribal Hall on Tulalip Bay.

Tuesday evening the Strawberry Festival Square Dance was held on the Safeway parking lot with Eldon Slade Calling.

Wednesday evening a teen dance was slated at the Marysville YMCA featuring United Flight.

Saturday morning is the Grand Parade featuring Tommy Connors, KRKO disc jockey as the parade’s grand marshal.

On Ebey Slough the annual boat races, sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association will be held on Sunday.

The 1972 Royalty included Queen Janelle Moberg and Princesses Karen Hoffman and Janet Brown.

The Strawberry Festival’s 2012 Berry Run is set for June 9 this year, and race organiz-ers promise that runners will have a good time.

The “Fun” Run allows rac-ers to have the option of choos-ing a one-mile run or walk, or a � ve kilometer run or walk. The race begins at 8 a.m. at The Plant Farm in Smokey Point located at 15022 Twin Lakes Ave.

“We are fortunate to have this race at The Plant Farm again,” said Jeff Sowards, race director. “This may be the last year we’ll have it there with the new overpass going in. Our partnership with them has been awesome.”

Between the two races, Sowards is hoping to see at least 300 runners — the same number of runners from 2009. “Attendance was down a bit last year, probably because of

the economy. We are hoping for more this year.”

In 2011, more than 200 people of all ages participat-ed in the race, which helps support the Lakewood High School cross country team, of which Sowards is head coach. The cross country team and their parents help put on the race together every year.

The event is separated into three registration groups; 1-12 years old, 13-59 years old and 60 years old and above. The course is completely � at and paved with a very short gravel portion. The cost to partici-pate is $25, which includes a commemorative Berry Run T-shirt, or $20 without the T-shirt. The design for the shirts is a play on the Strawberry Festival logo, as the Berry Run is one of the � rst events to kick-off a week of Straw-berry Festival activities.

Berry Run promises funThe Strawberry Festival’s Fourth Annual

Kids Party in the Park is set for Saturday, June 9, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Asbery Field.

The 2012 Kids Day is the festival’s event celebrating youth in the Marysville commu-nity. The event will feature face painting, vendor booths and other activities.

“We’ve got Rising Stars, free bouncies, face painting and informational booths,” said Dave Clemmons, Kids Party organizer. “I’ve got the Reptile Man coming at noon.”

Scott Peterson, also known as the Reptile Man, has performed at more than 800 schools and assembly events and is set to bring his presentation to the Kids Party in the Park to teach the children about nature and reptiles.

But the Reptile Man isn’t the only attrac-tion for children during the all-day event.

“Bouncy houses are the draw,” said Clem-mons. “I think last year we had 1,100 kids come through, and this year we are hoping for more.”

The Kids Party has been successful in pre-vious years, but this year festival organizers have made some changes they hope will draw more kids to the event.

“Last year is the � rst year that we were at

Asbery Park. We used to be in front of Totem Middle School, but we moved to the park so we could have more space,” said Clemmons.

The Kids Party in the Park has also been moved to one week before the main festival events and parade.

“We moved it a week before so it could start off the week of Strawberry Festival ac-tivities,” said Clemmons, who is in his second year of running the Kids Party. “We are hop-ing for a good amount.”

Kids Party in the Park o� ers fun for all

The Marysville Strawberry Festival Talent Show will re-turn to the stage of the Marysville-Pilchuck High School audito-rium at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 14, this year.

Talent Show Direc-tor Marcy Giesler ex-plained that the judges for the Talent Show will all be different from the judges who sat in on the auditions on May 14 and 15, to avoid any potential biases.

The event is designed to showcase the skills of vocalists, dancers, instrumentalists and other performers, from 4-year-olds on up to all ages of adults, and will give awards to the � rst,

second and third-place winners in each cat-egory. The categories are divided up by age groups and talents.

Last year's Talent Show packed 30 com-petitors into the M-PHS auditorium to show the packed house audience what they could do.

Performers in previ-ous years have included pianists, violinists, gui-tar players, belly-danc-ers, aspiring stand-up comedians, and both a jug band and a harpist, the latter of whom was named the overall win-ner of the 2010 Talent Show.

Giesler noted that it's not uncommon to see � rst-time par-ticipants in the Talent

Show sharing the stage with returning per-formers.

"The talent that's out there just gets bet-ter and better every year," Giesler said.

The M-PHS audito-rium is located at 5611 108th St. NE in Marys-ville, and doors open at 5:30 p.m. before the Talent Show starts. Tickets are being pre-sold for $4 and will go for $5 at the door, and children under 7 years old will be admitted for free. Call Giesler at 360-653-6584 for more information.

Talent Show draws diverse crew of performers to M-PHS stage

Nate Pitocco provides his own vocal accompaniment as he plays "Hallelujah" on the piano during the Talent Show auditions in May.

In 2011, the Straw-berry Festival Fashion Show and Luncheon drew more than 240 guests, the most attended that the festival had seen in nearly 10 years.

This year, the fash-ion show is scheduled to take place at the Leifer Manor located at 12511 State Ave. in Marysville. The show, which has been a staple of the fes-tival for decades, is set to take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. on June 12 and will represent the theme of the festival — "Just Imagine."

The fashion show is sponsored by Leifer Manor, Target, Home-Street Bank and North County Outlook.

Roughly 12 to 15 mod-els, both men and wom-en, will show off out� ts chosen from a number

of local retailers includ-ing JC Penney, Target, Seattle Premium Outlets and Fashion Bug. Last year, many local celebri-ties modeled the looks as part of a "Berrywood" theme.

"The theme is 'Just Imagine' and the Straw-berry Festival board members are interpreting that to include an interna-tional travel theme," said Beckye Randall, one of the fashion show coordi-nators. "The out� ts will probably have a tourist feel or they'll be clothes you might wear while traveling."

The models will pres-ent one or two out� ts during the show and refreshments are being served.

"We serve a full lunch, catered by Christiano's in Marysville," said Ran-

dall, who noted that the meal would be a pasta and salad dish. "We will have desserts from Sim-ply Caketastic and Yum-my Cookies by Jody."

Tickets are $20 per person, with a 10 per-cent discount to those purchasing a table of 6 or 8.

"This will be a great show," said Randall.

Jodi Hiatt promised attendees of this year's Market in Asbery Field that plenty of familiar favorites and new features alike would be on site through the weekend of June 15-17.

"We've got lots of returning ven-dors, plus a few more activities," Hiatt said. "Of course, the bouncy house, the rock-climbing wall, the go-karts and the train rides will all be back. We'll also have a 'Princess for a Day' feature, which will let little girls get their hair done, dress up in costumes and have their faces made up. We've even got pony rides, which is new to the Market this year."

As always, the Market also show-cases artistic talent in the form of not only live musical performances, but also a host of area crafters, whose handmade products have ranged from wood puzzles to housewares such as kitchen towels and pot-holders over the years.

"We're constantly looking for crafters at other festivals," Hiatt said. "We don't turn down anyone."

Local merchants and regional businesses will be present as well, to provide information on subjects such as window installations and other home improvements, as well as fund-raising campaigns on behalf of com-munity organizations.

Hiatt reported that more than 130 tent vendors, as many as 10 � eld vendors and about 20 food vendors have signed up to descend upon As-bery Field this year, which would be roughly in line with last year's totals, although this year's food vendors are

set to include not only the regular fare ranging from bratwurst to fro-zen treats, but also shrimp and � sh-and-chips.

The Market will run from 2-9 p.m. on Friday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sun-day, June 17, at Asbery Field.

The Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest will be at the Market on June 16, from 1-3 p.m.

The Emerald City Car Club Car Show on Saturday, June 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., will present a variety of classic restored and custom cars and trucks on site.

The Marysville Kiwanis Club will likewise be represented at this year's Market, through their beer garden on Friday, June 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday, June 16, from noon to 6:30 p.m., on Seventh Street between Asbery Field and Totem Middle School. On Sunday, June 17, the Kiwanis will serve up a pancake breakfast from 7-11 a.m.

The Grand Parade that's returning on Saturday, June 16, has become so popular that it struggles to stay with-in its two-hour-plus running time each year, which is why its upper limit is slightly more than 120 entrants.

"We want to give everyone a chance to be on TV," Carol Kapua said. "We're also lim-ited in how long we can keep Fourth Street closed, since it is a state highway."

The Grand Parade of� -cially starts at 7:45 p.m. on 76th Street, to ensure that entrants are rolling south-bound on State Avenue in front of the TV cameras by 8 p.m. With any luck, the parade wraps up on Third Street and Alder Avenue by 10 p.m., just in time for the half-hour � reworks show.

"We have several eques-

trian groups," Kapua said. "The Sky Riders from Mon-roe will be here, as will the Hawaiian Pa'u Riders. Old favorites like the Clan Gor-don Pipe Band will be return-ing, along with the Seattle Seafair Pirates and Keystone Kops."

Kapua reported that this year's high school march-ing bands are set to include both Marysville-Pilchuck and Marysville Getchell, the latter making their Straw-berry Festival Grand Parade debut.

Likewise, while the Dolls have put in Grand Parade ap-pearances in previous years, this year also marks the � rst combined performance by the Dolls & Gentlemen Drill Team and Drill Line.

Although American Le-gion Post 178 and the Arling-

ton Drag Strip Reunion are familiar � xtures in the area, they've never had entries in the Grand Parade before, but like "Survivor" contestant

Michael Jefferson of Marys-ville, they'll be cruising down State Avenue as part of the event this year.

"We'll have a number of

new and exciting things this year," Kapua said. "I love seeing all these people come to our community and re-ceive a warm welcome."

Grand Parade jam-packed with participants

"With the Kiddies Pa-rade, you never know how many participants you might have," Carol Kapua said. "We could have anywhere between 100-500 kids show up."

With its registration and setup time starting at 4 p.m. — followed by judging which commences at 5 p.m., the parade participants lining up around 5:45 p.m. and the parade proper kicking off at 6 p.m. — the Kiddies Parade on Saturday, June 16, offers a host of surprises each year, as entrants ranging from in-dividuals to groups of 20 or more sign up for one of � ve categories.

Bobbi Easley, who began coordinating the Kiddies Pa-rade just last year, explained that the categories have re-mained the same each year,

from the costume categories for both individuals and groups, to the animals catego-ry for pets ranging from dogs to horses that their owners (or riders) have dressed up.

"We do ask that those pet owners clean up after their pets, whether it's with bag-gies or shovels," Easley said.

The � oats category's re-striction is that its entries can't have motors, while the wheels category can include everything from bicycles to wagons.

"It's amazing to see these kids and their families com-ing together to work on their entries and bring them down-town," Easley said. "Getting kids and adults more involved in their community is part of what the Strawberry Festival is all about, and the Kiddies Parade can be an amazing

� rst step for them."Each of the � ve categories

of entrants will have its own staging area at the start of the Kiddies Parade route, at To-tem Middle School on Seventh Street. The parade will then head south on State Avenue until it reaches Fifth Street, at which point awards will be given to the participants in Comeford Park.

Kapua and Easley both delight in seeing the com-binations of colors and de-signs that each year's crop of children comes up with, and share the belief that this event is as much fun for par-ents and grandparents as it is for their children.

"It becomes a family ac-tivity," Kapua said. "It gives the kids a chance to show off their imaginations."

"The Strawberry Festi-

val's theme this year is 'Just Imagine,' and that opens up a whole world of opportunities for these kids," Easley said. "We often see lots of new families each year, but there are also those families that come back for it year after

year after year."The grand prize winners

of the Kiddies Parade will get to appear in the Grand Parade later that same day. Entry forms for the Kiddies Parade can be found online at http://maryfest.org.

Kiddies Parade o� ers fun for entire family

The pirate out� ts of (then) 11-year-olds Tanner Ratynski and Sophia Byrnes nabbed them � rst place in the costumes category of last year's Kiddies Parade.

Dave and Pauli Bo-wen, the Senior King and Queen for Wind-sor Square in this year's Strawberry Festival, have been married for 47 years, but they still gush over each other as much as a newlywed couple.

"She's 82 years old and absolutely beauti-ful, honest to God," 91-year-old Dave said of his wife Pauli, be-fore laughing, "I mar-ried her right out of the cradle."

"I was young and beautiful once, but I survived it," Pauli laughed back.

The couple has lived at Windsor Square for more than two years, but they've kept active

in the Pekinese breed-ing that Pauli started in the 1980s, before Dave's retirement from what's now the Victor Calculator company in 1981, and Pauli's re-tirement from a career as an advertising and layout artist in 1989. Pauli takes pride in having bred a number of champion dogs after her retirement, but also fondly recalls the work she did for the Spokes-man-Review and the Little Nickel.

Originally from New Hampshire, a World War II stint as a squad-ron commander � ying B-17s and B-29s in the Army Air Corps brought Dave to California, and he was living in Beverly

Hills when his company sent him to Spokane on business.

"We met in Spokane on June 29, 1963," Pau-li said, as she recalled how they carried on a long-distance courtship for a few years after-ward. "When I asked him when he was born, he said the same date, because he said his life began when we � rst met."

Pauli described Dave as a sentimental roman-tic, and indeed, as Dave explained why he and his wife still hold hands at every opportunity, he choked back tears of joy.

"It's the most won-derful thing in the world to hold her hand," Dave

said with misty eyes. "I can't explain it any fur-ther than that, or the tears really will start to run. I'm very lucky. I married the most beautiful woman in the world."

"In his next life, he says he'll start look-ing for me sooner,"

Pauli laughed, as she explained how one of her Pekinese dogs, who usually didn't like men, grew fond of Dave right away. "I told her, 'Don't worry, I'll get him for you.'"

While the Bowens are still in slight disbe-lief over their selection

as Strawberry Festival Senior Royalty, they're continuing to enjoy their home in the mean-time.

"Windsor Square is absolutely the most wonderful place to live," Pauli said. "I love all my neighbors. Everybody is gorgeous here."

Bowens feel like newlyweds after 47 years

The 47-year marriage of Dave and Pauli Bowen, who were named the Senior Royalty for Windsor Square in this year's Strawberry Festival, has often been marked with shared laughter.

June 24, 1965 — Lily Ann Fryberg, 1965 Marysville Strawberry Festival Queen, was crowned Friday, June 18, by Gordon Carpenter, American Legion representa-tive, at the Queen Coronation Program held in the Snohomish Community The-atre. Jack LaLanne was the honored guest of the evening. Barbara Weber was fi rst runner-up and Ginger Clay was chosen second runner-up.

Beautiful sunny weather, a snappy colorful parade, and fi eld-fresh strawberries combined to give Marysville the fi nest Strawberry Festival in many years. A crowd estimated at about 12,000 people lined the sidewalks and curbs of State Avenue for close scrutiny of the 69 parade entries.

When Sammi K. Fryberg looks back on her 11-year marriage to Gerald D. Fryberg Sr., what stands out to her are all the pas-sions they share in common.

"We both enjoy hunting and � shing," said Queen Sammi, who was crowned as Senior Roy-alty for the Tulalip Tribes in this year's Strawberry Festival along with King Gerald. "We love trav-el and family and canoe journeys. We each love the same things and enjoy everything together."

Sammi and Gerald got together after meeting at his former place of work. Gerald retired from his post as the security director of the Tulalip Resort Casino last July, while Sammi already retired a couple of years ago.

"I was the manager and server at the Best Cafe in Marysville, right across the street from the courthouse," Sammi said.

To say that the Frybergs were

not expecting this year's distinc-tion would be an understate-ment.

"We were totally blown away and surprised to be chosen as this year's Senior Royalty," said Sam-mi, who expects to have a great deal of fun at this year's Straw-berry Festival. "I'll get to be with my family, like always, but I'll also get to ride in the Grand Parade and be royalty," she laughed.

The Frybergs are also eager to take part in the Strawberry Fes-tival's other activities, including noshing on food and browsing through vendor tents at the Arts and Crafts Market at Asbery Field.

"I always like the strawberry shortcake," Sammi said. "We're very honored to have been cho-sen, and will do our ultimate best to do right by this. We want to thank everybody for this oppor-tunity."

Frybergs enjoy everything together

Gerald Fryberg Sr. and his wife Sammi were crowned as the Tulalip Tribes' Senior Royalty for this year's Strawberry Festival back in April.

The Strawberry Festival plans to host its annual Adult Trike Race obstacle course at Asbery Field on Friday, June 15 beginning at 7 p.m.

Last year, the races were cancelled because there were not enough teams registered to � ll up the event. As of press time for this guide, it was unclear whether the Trike Races would take place or would be canceled due to low registration numbers.

In 2012, festival coordinators have changed the course to make it more appealing to people who wanted to sign up. The course has been shortened and trike riders can be expected to master the basic obstacles such as

riding through a tire, weaving between traf-� c cones and landing in a Jello pit.

In previous years, the obstacle course in-cluded more than 10 obstacles. The race in-volves at least 10 teams of four people who will race to � nish line in their three-wheeled ve-hicles. The racing teams can be any combination of male and female rid-ers and enter different categories based on the gender combination.

Festival coordina-tors view the new trike race course to be a vast improvement on previ-ous years.

"We pretty much cut the course in half," said Jodi Hiatt, the fes-tival's trike race coor-dinator. "It's a lot bet-

ter."The Trike Race

faced declining atten-dance and last year's cancelled race hit home for festival Grand Mar-shal Cheryl Deckard.

Deckard wrote a let-ter to the editor urging Marysville residents to embody the spirit of the Strawberry Festi-val and come together to re-instate the Trike Races.

"Let’s do this for the sake of our community and in honor of those who created this ter-ri� c event," she wrote. Now that the races are back, it's time for par-ticipants to get speedy.

Racers are expected to arrive at least 45 min-utes to one hour before the race, which is to be held rain or shine.

Trike Race is better than ever

Blanche Gay and Er-nie Hajek of the Mad-eleine Villa Health Care Center share not only a royal status in common, but also a certain level of seniority.

Hajek and Gay were named Madeleine Vil-la’s Senior King and Queen for this year’s Strawberry Festival after Hajek celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan. 17, but before Gay celebrated her 102nd birthday on May 16.

Born in Brainard, Neb. and raised in North Dakota, Hajek went to school up to the eighth grade, then went to work as a meat-cutter and a landscaper.

As for Gay, she was born Blanche Davidson in Illinois in 1910, and her father was killed by a train the same year she was born. Her mother followed her aunt out to Washington state, after her aunt moved to Stanwood. Following a brief period in Silvana, 2-year-old Blanche and her family moved to Marysville.

Blanche would meet her future spouse while cooking for some of the single men staying at the hotel in Everett owned

by her aunt’s parents. She married John Fran-cisco on her 17th birth-day, and although that marriage eventually ended, their three chil-dren went to school in Marysville, and gradu-ated from the local high school. After 10 years in Everett, Blanche met Clifford Gay when she was 30, and they moved to Whiskey Ridge fol-lowing their marriage.

Blanche and Cliff left Marysville in 1948, when his employers sent him to Oregon. Two years later, they’d moved to Enumclaw, where they would spend the next 35 years. Cliff went from retir-ing from Weyerhaeuser at the age of 62 to be-ing hired as a display carpenter for the Jay-hawks store in Enum-claw, where he worked for the next 15 years.

At the age of 49, Blanche enrolled in beautician school with-out even expecting to get hired in the � eld. When she graduated, she shared the news with her own hairstyl-ist, Vivian Hall, who noted that she could use someone to help her on Fridays and Satur-

days. After 10 years of working for Hall, Cliff encouraged Blanche to turn their rec room into her own hair salon.

Blanche Gay retired at the age of 76, and in the wake of her hus-band’s stroke, returned to Marysville in 1986. Clifford Gay passed away at the age of 92.

Although Gay “could hardly believe it” when she heard that she’d been selected as Straw-berry Festival Senior Royalty, Hajek had already been crowned as such for a previous Strawberry Festival. Gay and Hajek agreed that they’d be relieved once the rush of their royal activities had � -nally abated.

Throughout his life, Hajek has enjoyed all sports, especially base-ball, as well as hunting, � shing, playing cards and going camping with his wife Gladys in their trailer in North Dakota and Minnesota. Hajek was married for 65 years before Gladys passed on, and their daughter gave them one grandchild and two great-grandchildren.

“I loved my wife dearly,” Hajek said.

“She was a very nice, sweet lady. She was just perfect.”

Hajek’s favorite mem-ories of Gladys are when they went dancing and bowling together.

At Madeleine Villa, Hajek has kept active with daily walks and taking part in the cen-ter’s activities.

“I look forward to seeing my friends and listening to their sto-ries,” Hajek said.

“I’ve probably seen all of the Strawberry Festivals,” said Gay, who expressed a par-ticular fondness for strawberry shortcake. “I grew up with a big family, and what I’ve always liked about Marysville is that it felt like a family.”

Gay, Hajek enjoy shared centenarian status

Queen Blanche Gay and King Ernie Hajek are the cente-narian Senior Royalty of the Madeleine Villa Health Care Center.

"I got paired off with a real chick," laughed 86-year-old King Fred Philips, as he and 73-year-old Queen Jackie O'Brian talked about what it was like to be crowned and part-nered up as the Senior Royalty for the Marys-ville Care Center in this year's Strawberry Fes-tival. "She's a young woman."

"I haven't been called that since high school," O'Brian laughed back.

Although both O'Brian and Philips have been residents of the Marysville Care Center for less than a year, they needed to be reminded of how long they'd stayed there, which O'Brian touted as a good sign.

"I've been having so much fun here that I don't even remember how long it's been,"

O'Brian said. "The Marysville Care Cen-ter is one of the nicest places. The people are really great, and it feels more like an extended vacation."

Although Philips looks forward to rid-ing in a fancy car and O'Brian is eager to wave to the crowds, both of them say they have plenty of activities to keep them occupied in the meantime.

O’Brian is popular with one of the center's resident cats, Payday, whom she says listens to her, while Philips is only occasionally as suc-cessful with the other cat, Patches, whom he described as a bit of a loner.

"I like to chat with all the people I see com-ing and going," O'Brian said.

O'Brian and Philips

also share a fondness for receiving visits from groups of children, who stop by to talk to them.

"Even if you've had a crappy day, nothing brightens your spir-its quite like telling things to kids, some as young as kindergarten, and seeing them cock their heads curiously," O'Brian said.

O'Brian and Philips certainly aren't de-prived of visits from the children in their own families, either. O'Brian has four grand-children, while Philips has a great-grandchild.

"I've enjoyed my stay here," Philips said.

"I'd like to get some strawberry shortcake during the Strawberry Festival, but I'm wor-ried about putting on weight," O'Brian laughed

O'Brian, Philips keep busy with kids, activities

Jackie O'Brian and Fred Philips bask in the sunlight following their crowning as the Marys-ville Center Center's Senior Royalty for this year's Strawberry Festival.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 16, 1966 — Marysville’s traditional summer opener, the week-long 31st Annual Strawberry Festival ended musically Sunday evening, June 19, with a lively concert in City Park by the Everett Eagles Band but as always, highlight of the week was the traditional festival parade on Saturday. Led by John Hilton as grand marshal, in a convertible, the 1966 parade was assembled at the B & M parking lot and got off to a rousing start with the shooting off of a booming fl are.

Joy Woll was Miss Marysville, Marcella Thompson was fi rst runner-up, Cindy Crabbs was second runner-up, Linda Adams was third runner-up and Kathy Smith was fourth runner-up.

This year's Marys-ville Strawberry Festi-val Rose Planting cer-emony continues on in the venue it gained in 2010.

The annual cer-emony — a tradition to commemorate the friendship between the Strawberry Festival and the Northwest Fes-tival Hosting Associa-tion — will take place at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 16, at Totem Mid-dle School, located at 1605 Seventh St. in Marysville.

During the ceremo-ny, which is slated to take about an hour, rep-resentatives from the Portland Royal Rosar-ians will plant roses in honor of individuals in

the community.This free event is

open to all ages, and light refreshments will be offered afterward.

The ceremony began in 2001. It had previ-ously taken place at the "Red Caboose," which

was located at the cor-ner of Cedar Avenue and Fourth Street, but a � re in the summer of 2009 caused organizers to move the event to the middle school, where a rose garden was planted for the event.

While 86-year-old Gene Baxter was born and raised in Marys-ville, his 75-year-old wife Bonnie was a trans-plant, but they've built up 25 years of marriage here in the meantime, including their time to-gether at Merrill Gar-dens since November of last year.

"They've been very good years," Queen Bonnie said of King Gene, after they were crowned as the Senior Royalty for Merrill Gardens in this year's Strawberry Festival. "He's a wonderful man. He's always nice. It's a Baxter family trait."

"She's always cheer-ful," Gene compli-mented Bonnie in turn.

"She's helpful to just about anybody."

Gene met Bonnie when the brother of his � rst wife introduced them, after Gene's � rst wife had passed on.

"We liked each other immediately," Bonnie said. "We have a lot of respect for each other."

Before they retired, Gene worked as a parts manager for a Chevrolet dealership, while Bon-nie performed estimates as a certi� ed moving consultant for Bekins Moving & Storage.

"I loved my job," Bonnie said.

Bonnie expressed even more enthusi-asm for the family she gained when she mar-ried Gene, just as Gene

has always appreciated living in Marysville.

"We get together with his family about once a year, and they've always made me feel welcome," Bonnie said.

"I just like the friendly atmosphere of Marysville," Gene said. "I've known a lot of people here."

Perhaps one of the more well-known members of the Baxter family locally is Gene's brother, Ken Baxter, the former Marysville City Council and Fire District member for whom the Ken Baxter Community Center was named, before he passed away earlier this year.

"We wish Kenny was still here," Bonnie

said. "He was in the Grand Parade quite a few times. He was won-derful too. Even after all the years he knew me, the � rst thing he al-ways said when he saw me was how glad he was to see me."

The Baxters feel hon-ored to be in this year's Grand Parade, and are also looking forward to engaging in a little bit of spectating themselves.

"I just like watching everything that's going on," Bonnie said. "Even

if we don't take part in all the activities, it's still nice to see them."

"We should be get-ting some nice fresh berries too," Gene said. "I'd just like to tell the community to keep up the good work."

Baxters celebrate 25 years of marriage

Bonnie and Gene Baxter wish his brother, Ken Baxter, was still alive to see them as Merrill Gardens' Senior Royalty for this year's Strawberry Festival.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 23, 1955 — Sirens, Rockets and an untimely drizzle heralded the beginning of Saturday morning’s Grand Parade, highlight of the 20th Annual Strawberry Fes-tival. An estimated eight or nine thousand people jammed sidewalks, many viewing the spectacle from under umbrellas, trees or any other shelter along the 10 blocks of State Street which formed the parade route.

Quipped parade chairman Art Nelson from the judges’ stand on the State Street side of the city park, “Remember last year when it rained, I promised sunshine for this year’s festival? Well, here it is.”

Queen Margaret Whitson was joined by her court which included Patti Johnson, Sharon Dearenger, Joy Dodge, Maxine Hatch, Sharon Sullivan and Diane Rogge.

They're not married or a couple, although they can occasionally act like it.

"If you behave, I won't hit you on the head," 98-year-old Queen Bertha Dobbee laughed, as she and 86-year-old King Scott Smith posed for photos as the Senior Royalty for Grandview Village in this year's Strawber-ry Festival.

Although both Smith and Dobbee have been residents at Grandview Village for roughly a year, their levels of experience with the Strawberry Festival are vastly dif-ferent. Dobbee came from Tacoma to live closer to her daughter, Janet Millar, and as a result of being crowned a Senior Queen in this year's Strawberry Fes-tival, several of her rel-atives will be visiting Marysville to watch their � rst Grand Pa-

rade on State Avenue.As for Smith, not

only has he already served as a Senior King in a previous Straw-berry Festival, but he's lived so long in Marys-ville that he admitted that he had to do the math in his head before he could say how many years it's been (60).

"I lived here with my wife, until she passed on a couple of years ago," Smith said. "My daughters live in this area too, so I get to see them by being around here. My wife always had a great be-lief in the local people, and we decided that this would be where we stopped together."

Dobbee can still scarcely believe that she'll be appearing in the Grand Parade, and has been practicing her queenly wave to the crowds of "elbow, el-bow, wrist, wrist."

Besides their shared

royal status, another thing Smith and Dob-bee have in common is their service in the U.S. Navy during World War II, during which Dobbee dealt with acetylene torches and depth charges. While Dobbee went on to work for the telephone company, Smith's 45-year career as a teacher in Everett saw him molding young minds in the � fth through ninth grades.

"I taught at the ju-nior high, but never at the high school, because I was getting up there in years by then," Smith laughed. "Besides, I was pretty comfortable where I was."

As they look forward to the Strawberry Fes-tival, Smith and Dob-bee agreed on how for-tunate they were.

"I think about all I've gone through, and I still have my health and my mind," Dobbee

laughed."Throughout his-

tory, we as a people

have made headway," Smith said. "I hope that people continue to

participate in and help out their communities to make that happen."

Smith, Dobbee have family ties to Marysville

Scott Smith and Bertha Dobbee, fellow one-year residents of Grandview Village, were named its Senior Royalty for this year's Strawberry Festival.

From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe From the Archives of The Marysville Globe June 18, 1953 — Despite threatening skies, a crowd of several thousand people gathered to greet with applause a very fi ne Strawberry Festival parade Saturday, and stayed to enjoy a day of excellent entertainment. The rain held off for the parade and began as a fi ne mist just as the last marching unit passed the reviewing stand. The predictions of the weather bureau were upheld, however, and skies cleared for the afternoon.

parade, he escaped un-harmed. Festival-goers persevered through what some called the most rain in recent his-tory that time of year.

The rest of the week's events went off without a hitch. Golfers were able to � nish Fri-day evening's golf tour-nament despite a deluge. The Market in the Park at Comeford Park with-stood the challenges and festival-goers shopped and dined through Sun-day evening.

25 years ago - 1987

The sidewalk was lined eight deep with parade watchers and the horizon was lined with rain clouds. But even the Saturday morning drizzle couldn't take

the sparkle out of the Grand Parade, the high-light of the 1987 Straw-berry Festival.

The last day of spring saw the � rst ap-pearance of the long awaited, eagerly antici-pated new Strawberry Parade � oat. At 46 feet long and 12 feet high, the � oat proved to be an immediate crowd pleas-ers. Strawberry Festi-val Royalty included 4th Princess Veronica Puckett, 3rd Princess Heather Hill, 2nd Prin-cess Paige Closner, 1st Princess Chris Yost and Queen Justine Russell. Parade Co-Grand Mar-shals were Dana Mid-dleton and Dick Foley. Parade Marshall was Lloyd Seibert.

Michael Blackburn, Kate O'Neill, Scott Drennen and Cathy Da-vis were the big win-ners in the 1987 Straw-

berry Run. Blackburn and O'Neill won the 10-kilometer division while Drennen and Da-vis were the champions of the two-mile run. More than 300 runners participated in the two runs.

50 years ago - 1962

Sandra Staben of Marysville was crowned Queen of the 1962 Strawberry Fes-tival. Princesses in her court included Bonnie McLaury, Dianne Greg-ory, Barbara Wenz, Donna Jensen and Carol Hatley.

A colorful Cana-dian � oat returned home with the honor of Sweepstakes winner of the Marysville 27th Annual Strawberry Fes-tival Parade. This imagi-native entry from Van-couver, B.C., bore the

title "Paci� c National Exhibition" and was chosen best of the � oats that entered the parade. Sweepstakes winner from the Junior Divi-sion was the Marysville DeMolay entry.

A large crowd of spectators lined the banks of Ebey Slough to watch the Sixth Annual rung of Strawberry Cup outboard races. Threat-ening skies cleared to provide perfect weather and conditions during the racing pro-gram which was won by Norm Boddy who completed the 26-mile course in 31 minutes 28 seconds, which was just short of the record of 28 minutes � ve seconds Jan Bosworth clocked in the two laps of the course in 1961.

80 years ago - 1932

In spite of overcast skies and rather threat-ening weather, Marys-ville's � rst Strawberry Festival attracted thou-sands of visitors to the town Wednesday.

Local businessmen, as a rule, appeared sur-prised that so many peo-ple could be assembled here. It is estimated that 3,000 persons were assembled at one time in the city park to see the sports, witness In-

dian dances, hear band music and to share in the Strawberry Short-cake, provided by the Marysville Commercial Club. Registering from 65 communities, the visitors at Marysville's � rst Strawberry Festi-val showed representa-tions from many parts of the country. Of the 1,261 registered (many hundreds of others did not push through the crowds to the registra-tion booth), 1,082 stat-ed their address. Marys-ville led in registrants, many of the rural resi-dents signing from the town through which they receive their mail. Everett and Arlington came next in the num-ber of registrants, while several representatives from outside of the state were listed. California, Illinois, New York, Mis-souri, Utah, Minnesota,

Montana, Oregon and Alaska residents signed the register.

Some of the activi-ties included Best Crate of Strawberries; Larg-est Single Strawberry; Most Attractive Horse-drawn Vehicle; Boys 50-yard Dash: Girls 50-yard Dash; Fat Men's Race; Balloon Blowing; Girls Sack Race; Boy's Pie Eating Contest; Girl's Cracker Eating Con-test; Men's Hog Calling Contest, and the Couple Longest Married, won by Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Asbery who had been married for 59 years, 8 months and 20 days. At a meeting of the Marys-ville Commercial Club Wednesday evening, to talk over the outcome of the Strawberry Festival, the general opinion was that the affair would be an annual event here.
