They had lots of good food, entertainment, Queen contest, and cemetery walk that was really great. Lots of hard work went into it all! The Grand Parade was on Sunday and I think there were 57 units, with Dorothy (Davis) Harem as Parade Marshall. The Sesquicentennial committee presented $500.00 checks to the Pickwick Cemetery, Bush Cemetery, Precious Blood Cemetery at LaMoille, and Pickwick Community Park. We are still in the planning stage for mill day but there will be:
And this is only a partial list. If you have something to donate for the auction (new items only please) we can pick up your items! Remember, we are a nonprofit organization so your donations are tax deductible. We are still struggling with the chore of dredging the pond. Wetland is one issue, money is another, but the board is working on it! If you haven't mailed your dues, remember dues were due on May 1, 2004 so mail today. Also, those folks in Winona county at least all have new addresses, so send us your! Thank You! Your daily grinder, Opal Fitch |
