Portland Rose Festival 1966

VJe are pleased to welcome new visitors and old returnees to Portland during the 1966 Rose Festival, Our visitors will find a great deal to interest and entertain them, in addition to the numerous festive occasions which are sponsored by the Rose Festival Association.

We are proud of our scenic drive, which will give our guests a most unique view of the “City of Roses.” This drive is prominently marked by signs which state “Portland Scenic Drive.” We also suggest our famous Portland Zoo, which has among other numerous attractions four baby elephants who call Portland their birthplace. One, Hanako, was named by the school children of our sister city of Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan.

We sincerely hope that it may be possible for our distinguished visitors to linger a while with us and to visit some of our natural scenic attractions less than an hour’s drive from the Rose City.

If you have other interests, the Visitors Information Bureau of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, located at S.W. Fifth and Taylor, will be most happy to provide this additional information. We hope you will be pleased with your stay in Portland.

One of Portland’s leading service organizations is the Portland Rose Festival Association. Its board of directors and its 1400-odd associate members have a common purpose—to provide the finest Rose Festival events possible. If you will look over the accompanying schedule, you are sure to find many offerings which will interest, excite and entertain you. If you want further information, call the Rose Festival office, 227-2681. Above all, enjoy as much of the Rose Festival as you can!

International Rose Test Gardens, Washington Park.

MERRYKHANA PARADE

Hilarious, crazy, bizarre, offbeat—those are just a few of the adjectives that might be accurately applied to the Merrykhana Parade. This nighttime spectacle, which can be viewed from streetside or from the comfort of seats in the Memorial Coliseum, gets the Festival off to a fast, funny start.

The Merrykhana Parade, an old-time feature of the Festival, was revived for the 50th anniversary celebration in 1958 and has been an annual fixture since. Even those who have seen many Merrykhana parades always find a few surprises each year, and the same number of hearty laughs.

JUNIOR ROSE FESTIVAL PARADE

Nothing quite matches the appeal of a kids’ parade —and of all kids’ parades in the United States, the Junior Rose Festival Parade in Portland is the biggest and best. Not only are there decorated floats of Grand Floral Parade quality, but there are a flood of prettied-up bicycles, comical individual entries, units of baton twirlers and Boy Scout color guards and girls’ groups and pets and juvenile clowns.

Thousands of parents take their little ones to see the parade, but here’s a secret—the grownups get as big a kick out of it as the kids do!

teen-age fair

Portland teen-agers had their own fair during last year’s Portland Rose Festival . . . and they liked it! They liked the raucous music that all but tore your ears off . . . the teen-age style shows and hair-do demonstrations . . . the skateboard stunts and sport films . . . the custom cars, the dancing in the aisles, the exciting atmosphere, and a chance to be themselves while having fun.

This year’s Teen-Age Fair will have the same basic MEMORIAL

format but new attractions. Admission is just $1.50, and COLISEUM

once inside, everything is free, except items purchased II imc o

from vending machines. Everybody’s welcome for a °

See “01’ Ern” at his humorous and sing-in’est best . . . and enjoy the terrific music of the Young American Singers, a great group of high school youngsters from the Los Angeles area. This is one Coliseum show you’ll be sure to want in your book of memories!

1966 PARADE THEME: “FROM THE MUSIC STAND”

Judging Rules

Judges consider artistic arrangements and harmonious use of natural flowers together with the general artistic effect. Floats must be entirely covered with natural flowers. Artificial flowers are prohibited. Natural ferns, brakes, vines, etc., may be used but in competition for prizes, flowers of beauty and quality, appropriately and harmoniously arranged to depict the theme will receive the greatest consideration by the judges. Floats may not exceed 12 feet in height, 15 feet in width and 35 feet in length, unless special permission is obtained, to avoid entanglement with overhead traffic signals and clearance en route. No advertising may be used on any float other than the name of the sponsor or symbolic trademark. Lettering of the name of the sponsor must be in flowers and will be a factor in judging. Judges take into consideration the appropriateness of the dress of participants on the float and the drivers and their effect in interpreting the theme.

A WEEK OF FUN AND FROLIC IN THE

While thousands of others are enjoying concluding Rose Festival events in balmy weather in Portland, ski fans are witnessing the Golden Rose ski tournament on snowy slopes above Timberline Lodge. This year’s tournament is combined with the Far West Kandahar, which will attract many top-flight competitors.

Marine Day brings a host of thrills and spectacles on the water—in this case, a water skier lifted into the sky on the wings of a huge kite. Outboard motor racing, a decorated bo^\ parade, and other forms of water skiing a, ' standard fare at Marine Day shows.

CITY OF ROSES, PORTLAND, OREGON

Every year, warships of the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard and the Canadian Navy visit Portland during Rose Festival week, tying up at the downtown seawall where they are easily accessible to visitors. Here members of the 1965 Rose Festival court disembark from the U.S.S. St. Paul, flag ship for that year’s visit.

Screams, tears and laughter are the inevitable accompaniment when the new Rose Festival queen receives news of her selection at a backstage ceremony. No arrows are needed to identify the 1965 queen, Sally Swift of Roosevelt High School, when she discovered she was to be the new ruler of Rosaria.

Of the dozens of attractions for young people at the Teen-Age Fair, none are flashier than the custom car exhibit sponsored by the well-known George Barris of Hollywood. This way-out spy car, designed for the movie “Out of Sight,” will be on display throughout this year’s Teen-Age Fair at the Memorial Coliseum.

Growing in interest and competitive excellence every year are the Rose Cup Sports Car Races at Delta Park. The racing program starts Saturday afternoon and continues all day Sunday, and attracts sports car racing experts from all over the Pacific Northwest. The races are held rain or shine.

Oldest and largest rose show in the United States! That’s the proud claim made for Portland’s own rose show, which dates from 1889. It has been estimated that more

than 20,000 blossoms are on view in this magnificent show every year, a sight well worth seeing even by those with only a casual interest in roses.

Portland welcomes several thousand delegates to the American Rose Society

convention in 1966, which will be in session during the Rose Show. These special

visitors will be greeted by a show which is of international class, including entries from Japan, Canada and other foreign countries.
