[Stateside Twins' Eyeshot] Heroes in Desperation

Fireworks were added to this year's program in response to overwhelming requests from our guests and twins. A special fireworks raffle was conducted to help Twins Days fund this, and the first Twins Talent Show was offered for the twins to compete in. The festival was showing the growth we now associate with Twins Days in many areas such as entertainment, the amount of spectators, the number of twins in attendance, along with the booths and other attractions. Some 20 contests in which the twins could compete, were held this year. Among the 569 sets of twins in attendance in 1982 was one set from France and one set from Argentina.
