Scope and content
A shiny new Schwinn bicycle donated by County Commissioner Harry Sprinker and a real, live pony donated by Judge Robert A. Jacques were the special prizes given away by the Tacoma Athletic Commission at their big fireworks show on July 4, 1964 in the Stadium Bowl. Leslie Finn of Vancouver, B.C., and Keith Watness of Tacoma were photographed with the bicycle and pony for the News Tribune's pre-4th coverage. Tom Cross (left) representing County Commissioner Harry Sprinker and Judge Robert A. Jacques posed with the children on a grassy field near the Thunderbird Shopping Center. There was a 50-cent admission charge for the Stadium Bowl show with all profits going to a program to buy new bowl lighting. (TNT 7-3-64, p. 13)
