Somerville -One doesn't know if this is the kind of celebration Archibald Query would have pictured 90 years ago, but this is what he gets.

Among the attractions were the 80-pound recreation of the Prospect Hill Tower that overlooks Union Square -- made in Rice Crispies and Fluff, and burlesque dancers from Thru the Keyhole who were dressed as the Flufferettes, the dancing girls featured in black and white television ads for Fluff.
