[Stateside Twins' Eyeshot] Wonders & Dreams

Many heated discussions took place early that year whether Twins Day should be limited to a local affair or to a festival honoring Twins and others of multiple birth. It was decided by that informal group that the festival would continue and that the emphasis would be placed on Twins and others of multiple birth. The Twinsburg Chamber of Commerce received a call from a circus that had an open date and inquired if they (The Chamber) would be interested in hosting it. Well, within a week, over 500 tickets were sold and the TDFC had a profit of $425 to off-set some expenses. Twenty events were scheduled that year, ranging from a parade to a "battle of the barrel" between local fire departments. A doctor from Tulane University attended that year to take and study hand and footprints of twins. This was the start of the research on site. 76 sets attended that year, and we knew that we had a winner in hand.
