Hayride has full house
for Danny McDonald
The Granite State Hayride
performed to a nearly full house
Sunday
evening
at
the
Farmington Town Hall during a
4 hour benefit show to aid the
family of Danny McDonald, who
was 12 years old that night and
recuperating
from
a
recent
$50,000 kidney transplant Over
$1,000 was added to his fund
Each of a dozen country
singing
acts
donated
their
services and the entire proceeds
were turned over to Danny's
cause
Gubernatorial
hopeful
Meldrtm T h o m s o n of Orford was
a surprise guest at Danny's
party When invited by producer
Don West to address the crowds
of
over
500
the
Orford
candidate explained his deep
pride in a people who would put
themselves out so unselfishly to
help another " I t ' s really a great,
wonderful, thing you people
have done for Danny" Thomson
said, things like this reafirm a
man's faith in people
About 2,000 years ago the
man, our Savior gave his life
that we might learn to love and
to give
Tonight we can share our spirit
of Christmas by giving for
Danny more than we have yet
done
By our giving we can say to all
the world that America is not
sick - America is alive, healthy,
and determined to give so that
all of the Dannies in America
can have a better life
Let us by our good deeds, in
this great effort show thai we
want America to be a better land
for all children than wc found
when we came here "
Thanking the crowd for their
generosity, Thomson left the
stage
amidst
thunderous
applause and pocketbooks were
opened in addition to the
admission charge pegged for
Danny

G F Mooney & Son Mill Photograph, Advertising, Box Branding
Description
An account of the resource
G F Mooney & Son Mill Photograph, Advertising, Box Branding. The black and white photo is taken in front of Mooney’s Mill with an automobile. Seventeen people are in the staged photo. None are identified. The scanned back of the frame identifies the photo taker, the well known, Farmington photographer E. Dore.
The Mooney and Sons business started in 1888. The Mooney family moved to Farmington in 1916, when Francis Robert Mooney, was only a few weeks old. George Francis Mooney and his son, Francis Joseph Mooney, were the proprietors of the Farmington Mooney Mill It was more formally incorporated in 1946.
Also included are a framed Mooney Mills cardboard box side, with full printed lettering and advertisement information. A second marketing item for the mill is a drawing of the wood, plain and enameled handles, they were famous for, and a key list for their best selling handles, printed on what looks to be aqua colored paper. In addition to making handles, they made wood buttons, turnings for toys, dolls, games and tops.
Items are digital copies and cannot be found in the physical museum collection.
