KIRKVILLE, IOWA

We had a steady crowd stop by all morning. We had an old fashioned theme, photos by the covered wagon (Willard Johnson let us borrow), also photos with a mule (brought by Kevin Waggoner). We had live entertainment (by Glen Salgado) on a hay rack stage (borrowed from the Lehman's), the Eddyville dance studio (led by Jean Bell) performed in front of the stage - that was very popular - a big group of girls from about age 3 to 16, the Eddyville Lumber Yard donated lumber for the dance platform. The city hired Chris Cakes to prepare pancake breakfasts to offset the city expense for the event, the Church here in town made a little profit serving breakfast, they were tickled, saying, now they can afford to pay make thier next insurance payment. The Mason's let us borrow tables and chairs, the Fridley's lent us a tent. And we fixed benches from hay bales borrowed from the Brad and Dan Lehman and Carl Wilz. The Harrison Zippers 4-H club volunteered to run our ice cream treats from Schwann's..
