Son Jooquin Hoo-Hoo Neorly Set Record in Frolic ert Fresno

Well over 25O Northern California Hoo-Hoo backers took in the always-great annual Valley Frolics, again held this year at the Hacienda motel in Fresno, September 23. Host club for the big event was San Joaquin Valley HooHoo Club 31, proving once more that it is a club that "knows-how," too, along with its big city cousins. Bud Barber, Club 31 secretary, stated that the September 23 turnout came very close to marking a new record in Valley Frolic attendance.

The big day got off to a flying start at noon, when nearly 100 golfers gathered at the Fort Washington Golf Club totry their luck on that valley course's fairways (and roughs) under the direction of lfam Knott and Bob Reid, co-chairmen of the golf tournament.

A'new feature of this year's Frolic was a bowling tournament, rvhich was held in the afternoon at the Playdium in Fresno. Cap Nichols and Glenn Barber were co-chairmen of that event.

The big Valley Frolics evening got underway in the Hacienda's San Joaquin room at 6:D p.m., followed by a delicious steak dinner with all the trimmings in the motel's Yosemite room.

Following dinner, the club's newly elected president, Wally Kennedy of George W. Kennedy & Sons, welcomed one and all to the gathering and turned over the meeting to Ham Knott for presentation of golf prizes. Glenn Barber later follorved suit with the awarding of prizes for high scores registered during the bowling tournament.

The "1955 Frolic Revue" touched off the meeting at 9:09 p.m., and from there on everyone was on his own conSiithce as to {ust when to call it quits.

Heading the show was Jack Marshall, master of ceremonies, ably supported by The Cavaliers (Knights of Song) and Toni Larue (Musical Moments). Other top acts included Martez, Lucia and Linda, and the Shepard Brothers. Music was under the direction of Jack Seltonrich rvith Jerry Bredouw's Orchestra.

In addition to the San Joaquin Hoo-Hoo Club officers, directors and members who helped put on the show, a special vote of thanks should go to the following men who worked long and hard on the various Valley Frolic committees to insure the complete success of the event:
