Polk Bean Days Criticisms Prompt Club Revisions
A Polk area letter to President Vern Jones raised criticisms of the 1968 Bean Day including parade direction, carnival placement, meat quality, parade theme printing, and out of community judges. The club responded by reversing the parade, setting the carnival on stilts, boiling beef and barbequing beans next year, continuing Pork Progress as is, and contacting overseas judges. The piece also mentions daylight saving time opponents and notes a recent Stromsburg Polk football game under bright sun.
