For nearly 125 years Cloverdale's Citrus Fair has lifted spirits of the townspeople in the dead of Winter. Held annually in mid-February, most of the town participates in some way.
One of the many events held during the Fair is the Queen Contest. Our Senior year the contest was dominated by our class. Jeannie Farrell wore the crown that year.Connie Erickson, Susan Beck, Karen Bogner, Darla Laier, and Emma Landis of Geyserville rounded out the Court.
Many events highlight the Fair. The exhibits, Lily Lemon Contest, Parade, live entertainment, and the Carnival, to name a few. Has anyone ever won a goldfish tossing ping pong balls that lived more than one day? The fish must be clones of mayflies.
As February slipped into the history book in 1965, no one ever imagined that fifty years would pass and our Queen Jeannie and her Court would still be considered the most talented, gorgeous, and successful group in Fair history. To prove their resilience, all five of these beauties may be attending our function. That in itself is reason enough for all other classmates to attend.
