Band Stand And Park Dedicated In City Event
The Park Commission extended the prizes to fall for a flower and shrub display with ten contestants needed for each ward. Peter Du Pree won the grand prize of $25 for adorning the high school yard, while ward prizes included a year of telephone rent for first places and cash prizes for others. Boy Scouts demonstrated craftsmanship, and an apple and cracker eating contest plus foot races filled the sports segment. An evening concert by Ramsey’s band and chorus performances closed the program as a large, content crowd enjoyed fine weather. Local residents Mrs. Kaldenburg and daughter returned home from Osceola after visiting relatives, while Mrs. Meyers visited Prairie City. Jake Vander Syde survived a fall from his roof with non-serious injuries.
