A large Republican and Elks Day procession in Mitchell featured Sioux Falls bands and 400 Elks travelers. The parade, led by the Elks goat, moved through muddy streets to the Milwaukee depot and returned to headquarters at The Mitchell. Weather dampened attendance but spirits remained high.

A large audience enjoyed performances by young ladies including a drill and a cake walk by Imogene Cowhick and Glenn Rowley. The event extended beyond schedule due to crowd size and closed with the BPOE banner unsoiled and Elks yells receiving applause.
