Local Historians “Phone a Friend”

Date:

Parade history

The above picture hangs in the hallway at Spirit Canyon apartments. For months local residents Edna Bragstad and Tommy Willems, with a grand total of over 180 years combined knowledge, are asking for your help in identifying some of the people in this picture. They do believe the event may be the Garretson 100th Anniversary parade. They believe the driver and owner of this pickup is Milton Edmundson. Riding shotgun may be Orlen Berge. Guiding the plow may be Joe Bragstad. But to help solve this crossword puzzle, who the heck are the three riders in the back of the truck? If you can help solve this mystery contact Garrick at the Gazette. We will be running other such mystery photos in the future and as space allows.
