[Stateside Twins' Eyeshot] Beyond the Ocean

But in Twinsburg, determined not to let the idea die, Wib Cramer, Ray Diersing, Ron Candow, Phyllis and Paul McGhee, Jan Maxwell and Laura Tyson went into action, did the legwork and planning and, instead of excuses, made the second Twins Day happen. The success of Twins Days, along with the throngs of spectators, volunteers and others, have shown that Twinsburg can, indeed, support an annual event. There were 35 booths that year. The food booths were primarily operated by local service organizations wanting to raise funds for their treasuries. Booth rental was $1. A band concert was held, along with a Gong Show and a Square Dance Exhibition. The parade that year consisted of a "bike-and-buggy" parade for children 12 years and younger. All three of the Cleveland television stations reported on the event that year. There were 38 sets of twins who attended that second year and we were on our way.
