Mark Hall was like every other graduating student when he attended the Hill Valley Fair – a young man, just graduating and totally unsure of what he would do for the rest of his life. Yet, the Hill Valley Fair changed all that. Mr. Hall was spotted aiding traffic and keeping pedestrians safe whilst at the fair and luckily for him the local crossing guard noted his good work and knew of a vacancy.

A few minutes later, Mark Hall was offered the job as a crossing guard, which he quickly accepted. Now Mark Hall can be seen stopping traffic to help students cross the roads, by Hill Valley High School.

We can’t believe it is over so soon but Hill Valley breathed a sigh of sadness today as the town returned to its usual self. The Fair has been and gone, as have the thousands of visitors who arrived from across the state but wow, what a marvelLous Fair it was.

It is difficult to pinpoint what made this year’s Fair the greatest that has ever been. Perhaps it was the parade, hundreds of Hill Valley students and professionals marched proudly through the town. Or maybe it was the incredible animal stock displayed by Peabody farm, those sheep and chickens really did make the kids hoot with laughter. The rides were certainly popular, as those whose legs were tired could take to the sky on the ferris wheel or flying chairs. Or perhaps the contagious spirit of all the shop keepers as they showed off their wares and produce. The dancing was certainly a hit, as those who went for a drink soon found themselves jiving away to the newest tunes but what really made the Fair? We decided to ask the Mayor.

In an interview with the Hill Valley Telegraph, our Mayor disclosed what he believed was the Fair’s highlights. “There is no doubt about it, this year’s Hill Valley Fair was the greatest ever. The Hill Valley Fair has always been a spectacular event but what really made it special this year was that everyone was involved. Whether you were a local or from a completely different place, you embraced Hill Valley, everyone was part of our special town. I also thought the food was particularly good this year, Lou’s Café improves with every bite I take.”

We at the HVT are looking forward to the Hill Valley Fair 1956, only a year to wait!

Dear Dorothy

I have been happily married for many years now and my husband has always been a very earthbound and reasonable man. But lately he has gone mad with the idea of flying saucers. I know it sounds silly but it is all he talks about and things are getting out of hand. I understand it is only right and proper to show a keen interest in your husband’s hobbies, but frankly his behavior at social gatherings has become unbearable, as all he does is rant and rave about “humanoids”. I overheard Mary Robbins call him a closet case the other day and I just know the neighbors are peeking through their curtains every time he takes his bed things to the garden to “watch for the lights”. I had the bad sense to question him the other evening over dinner. He said that these objects look like big silver horizontal spindles so I asked if he might be getting confused with our new boiler and he just stormed upstairs. I don’t want to be rash or upset him as I know he works very hard and is probably very stressed at work but I could really do with some advice. Housekeeping Weekly has been absolutely useless in regards to dealing with such matters.

A concerned wife,
Mrs. “P Boddy”

Dear Mrs. “Boddy”,
Before you call the men in white coats to come and take your husband away, it is important you realize that a significant number of thoughtful, intelligent, educated people in full possession of their faculties claim to see similar things almost every day. In August of this year, the Sutton family farmhouse “UFO” sighting in Hopkinsville, Kentucky stirred the wildest imaginations of minds across the country. America has become most excited about these sightings and it can be difficult not to find yourself caught up in the buzz. However, these extraordinary sightings do seem out of character for your seemingly grounded husband. Has he been reading any popular science fiction magazines recently? Exposure to fantastical stories of “robots” and “time travel” could be sending his perceptions of reality askew – particularly if he is very stressed at work or not sleeping well. Are you sure to arrange his pillows properly at night? It is important to look at what you may be doing wrong at home before assuming it is your husband who is to blame. Being supportive and not complaining or nagging over his decision to sleep in the garden will help. Be aware you’re not making him feel embarrassed about his interests. These are all important components to being a good, caring wife and if you keep them up, I feel confident you will see a change in him soon.

Best of luck,

Dorothy

Twenty years ago Michael Fromaz and Laura Croe were preparing for their high school prom. They were eighteen, had been together for four years and they had their whole lives ahead of them. However, unlike every other student they were not looking forward to the prom, as prom was to be the last day of their relationship.

Michael Fromaz was moving with his family to Australia the day after prom and Laura had secured a job as an assistant at Ruth’s Frock Shop. So as they danced their last dance, tears streaked the couple’s cheeks… They thought they would never dance together again. The couple kept in contact for a year but eventually it ceased. Three years later Michael went looking for the girl who had stolen his heart but was unable to find her. Laura’s family had moved out of Hill Valley and she was no longer working at Ruth’s Frock Shop. Eventually Michael gave up on his search and started a new life.

Meanwhile Laura was living in Los Angeles with her new husband, Derek and was two months pregnant. Laura went on to have three children with Derek and was happily married until a year ago Derek had a terrible accident and died. In a bid to re-root herself, Laura moved with her children back to Hill Valley and when she was asked to help with the fair she agreed.

Michael was still in Australia when he received a letter from an old classmate suggesting he returned to Hill Valley for the Hill Valley Fair and he booked his return that afternoon. Laura was in the middle of decorating the High School Hall when she felt a tap on her shoulder. “I was really annoyed actually,” Laura told the Hill Valley Telegraph. “I had nearly managed to reach the hook on the wall when I felt a tap on my shoulder and nearly fell but then I saw who it was and I just…” Laura’s eyes watered as she relayed her emotions. “I just, I’d been thinking about him for the last twenty years. I never forgot him.”

“When I saw her there, I just couldn’t help myself. I wanted to just grab her and kiss her and never let her go,” Michael said. “So much time had passed but she was still my Laura.” The high school sweethearts are very looking forward to dancing together once again at prom and are planning on getting married in a months time.

“Once I saw her I knew. I knew I should never have left her. I realised she was the girl I had always wanted, always needed and the one I couldn’t live without.”

Another happy story from Hill Valley. Have you got any prom stories you would like to share? If so contact the Hill Valley Telegraph.

Elite Salon was in a state of excitement this morning when it was revealed that a celebrity was spotted in Hill Valley. An anonymous lady who happens to be a regular client of Elite Salon was overheard gossiping about a celebrity who was in Hill Valley.

The star was seen near The Bank of America and looked as though they had been shopping. The source said that the star held bags from Ruth’s Frock Shop and Roy’s Records. It is believed that the celebrity in question is in town for the fair.

Dot Hempel made the Hill Valley Telegraph Headlines a couple of months ago when she saved a nest of ducklings from a predator. An aggressive fox had already gobbled the young ducklings’ mother and was preparing to wolf down the four remaning chicks. Dot Hempel leapt to the rescue, broom in hand, scaring off the fox and saving the orphaned ducklings.

For the last two months Dot has been looking after her brood. Feeding them, keeping them warm and teaching them how to swim and fend for themselves. This morning was a bittersweet occasion as she released the ducklings she had grown to love back into the wild.

“I always knew it was going to be difficult,” Dot told the HVT wildlife reporter. “When you spend so much time with these animals, you grow to love them. I will particularly miss Hoppit (Mrs. Hempel named each duckling). Every morning when I came to the barn Hoppit was waiting for me, chatting away. It was the right thing to do though, to release them. They’ll have a beautiful life and they will be free. They are now able to fly, so let’s hope that if Mr. Fox strikes again they will simply take to the air.”

Well Done Dot Hempel.

Hill Valley is notorious for beautiful and large vegetables, the enthusiastic farmers of our town made sure of that generations ago. Unsurprisingly then, to claim to have grown the largest radish ever nurtured by Hill Valley soil is rather more significant than out-of-towners might realise.

Sally Fruckstow contacted our offices yesterday morning to announce: “I’ve just grown the largest radish I’ve ever seen.” Fruckstow is a seasoned farmer with a penchant for radish growing (three time winner of the Rosiest Radish Awards at the Hill Valley Fair).  However, the Hill Valley Telegraph needed proof, so an HVT reporter was sent to the scene. To say this radish is huge is an understatement. Radishes are usually a little addition to a salad; this radish would fill the whole salad bowl. What’s more, it’s still growing!

With a little luck the Fruckstow Radish will be ready for picking in time to compete in the Hill Valley Fair. Further more, due to this radish’s extraordinary size it could well be heading into the Hill Valley’s Greatest Achievements Book.  In order to enter the HVGAB the Hill Valley Farmer’s Board is heading to Fruckstow Farm tomorrow, to confirm whether this is in fact the largest radish ever grown in Hill Valley.

Good Luck Fruckstow Farm!

In advance of the upcoming Hill Valley fair, Texaco’s very own singing six part harmony group The Texatones have been practicing their vocal parts and polishing their dance moves, reports Nikki Cruse.

“We’re all very excited for the upcoming fair,” said Texaco owner and Hill Valley resident Mr Anderson. “Our Texaco boys are sure to do us proud and show this beautiful town that our service really is the very best – our men will be wearing the Texaco stars with pride!”

Alongside long serving Texaco employee Brad there are new additions to the line up in Edmund Turner, David Munoz, Patrick Williams and John Shaw. The ‘Tones are preparing to wow the crowds before the Hill Valley Parade with smooth vocal stylings and sharp uniforms – you might want to watch your ladies, fellas.

So join the ranks of those who know, and fill your tanks with Texaco!

Well this makes a change. Of all the Hill Valley residents to spark a good gossip during a cut, curl and set, Dr E. Brown must be the most unlikely. But over at Elite Salons word is you can barely move for news about our resident mad scientist. Rumour has it the Doc has a visitor – either that or he’s finally cracked the dog to human voice translator. We’ve heard the town newbie’s something to look at, too. Here’s hoping the Doc won’t keep him locked up during the fair and parade, there’s nothing like a dark, handsome stranger to get us in the mood for a party.

Don’t forget to send in any tips on the Doc, and pop into Elite any time for a gossip and a groom.
