An old black and white Riverside Daily Press newspaper article clipping titled "5-Day Fair on Tap Tomorrow." Linda Bermudez will be crowned queen by the Riverside mayor E.V.

The pretty brunette held top place in the contest during the final two weeks of the contest, piling up a plurality of votes over runnersup Susan Ann Sweeney and Dorothy Mae Elliot. Queen Linda is scheduled to be crowned at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow by Mayor E. V. Dales during opening night festivities at the fair. The queen is a native Californian and she will have her 17th birthday in Oct. 6 during her reign. She is a student at Riverside Polytechnic High School. Her future plans include going on to college." Next to the article is a portrait of Linda with the caption "Linda Bermudez, winner of the Riverside Community Fair queen contest, will be crowned at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow by Mayor E. V. Dales" underneath. Another section of the article describes the fair: "Workmen at the community fair site [...] The groups are Uptown Optimist Club, Uptown Kiwanis... (Turn to FAIR, Pafe B-2).
