Friendly Lutheran School straw ride at Rice’s Park
Fifty years ago the Friendly Girls Class of the Evangelical Lutheran Church School held its annual straw ride to Rice’s Park near Middletown. Swimming and a watermelon treat were provided by Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Bussard. SOHN CRONE, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel C. Crone of Middletown, raced a Miller special, winning first at Frankfurt Indiana and second at Mt. Sterling Kentucky. A thunderstorm frightened away several hundred from a 700-strong crowd at a Baker Park bandshell concert for playgrounds, but rain held off and Mayor Lloyd Cwer opened the event with Prof. Raymond Hollinger.
