with the national anthem and
the presentation of colors. But
the Ronnie Milsap and Janie
Fricke concert Friday night at
Carolina Coliseum wasn't like
most concerts.
The proceeds from this electrifying
and entertaining concert
will go toward construction
of a Vietnam Veterans'
Memorial honoring about
45,000 Vietnam vpterans in
South Carolina. The groundbreaking
ceremonies will take
? place in the spring, and the
memorial will be dedicated on
Veterans' Day 1986. Thespon
sors hoped to raise between
$20,000 and $50,000 from the
show.
Before the concert, Sen.
Strom Thurmond and Gen.
William Westmoreland made
a presentation. Thurmond
said that between 900 and
1,000 names of S.C. Vietnam
veterans killed in action will
appear on the memorial.
9 Westmoreland spoke about
the Vietnam Veteran's
Memorial dedicated in
Washington, D.C.
Afterward, Fricke electrified

some songs that helped begin

These were jingles for Red

His new album, Greatest
Hits Vol. 2, just went gold,
and he played one of its songs,
"She Keeps the Home Fires

His current song, "Lost in

Autumnfest
celebration t
By MARY SIEGFRIED
Staff writer
Children with rainbows painted on
their faces and balloons shuffled along
the sidewalk. Adults held their stomaches,
contemplating Alka-seltzers as they walked
down Pickens Street. Huge inflated
toys and original artwork from craft
booths weighed down others as they made
their way through the crowds. All were
visitors to Columbia's Autumnfest.
Although some Columbians were
pessimistic about Autumnfest, it was proven
an undoubtable success. Despite the
Governor's Cup race and televised football
games, the grounds of the Robert
Mills and Hampton-Preston mansions
were flooded with people. Art collectors,
basket weavers, country doggers, food
connoisseurs ? all w<*r<? th^r^ to pninv ?h<?
beautiful weather and festivities.
There were booths displaying the work
of artists. Most of the paintings were of
scenic South Carolina, primarily
Charleston. An average piece cost $140,
and although this may seem high, one of
the artists said much time and effort goes
into each original painting.
Another merchant said "art is timeless.
This is something you can sit back and enjoy
the rest of your life."
Unlike artists selling their wares, some
introduced their talents in the form of
entertainment. One of these was "Tickles
the Clown," enchanting everyone with
colorful playfulness and a fist full of

Robert Holroyd delighted spectators
with juggling acts. Bowling pins, sticks
and balls somersaulted around him in
professional rhythm. Equally successful
jugglers "Jimmy" and his associates actively
engaged spectators in their act by
placing balls in participants' hands while
juggling three others.
The pottery exhibit was by far the most
popular craft booth. USC art students
displayed their work: reasonably priced
pots, dishes and Christmas tree ornaments.
Other pottery booths displayed
toothbrush holders, cookware and the
ever-popular hummingbird feeders.
Other booths were occupied by rug
craners, needlecratters and basket
weavers. Some craftsmen involved their
whole family in their exhibits.
The most popular booths were concession
stands. Food distributors, such as the
Swiss Chalet and Piggy Park, were iherc.
Most frequented was the Japanese booth,
with marinated beef kabobs.
Another favorite was the Philadelphia
hoagie, served with "Yo' mamma's iced
tea." Baked goods were sold to raise
funds for such organizations as the
Animal Shelter and Baptist Church
widows' fund.
The inflating of the Statue of Liberty
gained at lot of attention, mostly because
onlookers wondered if her torch would
drop as it waved in the wind.
