Remember When Glenboro Local Happenings Through the Decades
A retrospective of Glenboro life recounts 60 years ago with farm visits to an Agricultural College special train, early baseball wins, and multiple marriages. In 1951 a heat wave dried crops as tennis finals and Sunday school picnics occurred, followed by 1941 victory celebrations, bond drive milestones, and community entertainments. The 1951 Caruthers Trimble reunion and local sports/marriages are noted, with a 1961 decoration day tribute and a Shilo range fire affecting evergreen lands.
