Belfry Centennial Pioneer Day
This is Lydia Hergenrider. She didn’t have a photo in the Gazette article. But she does here. Aunt Lydia is 93 years young and always smiling - or laughing.
Parade Announcers - Dale and Elmer Webb.
Here’s Melvin Brown. He hates photos, so please don’t tell him.
Closeup of one of the many cars Gene Sticka entered in the parade.
Lovely Naomi in Grandpa Earl’s MG.
Harold Peterson came up from Bridger to show off one of his tractors. Harold’s hobby is restoring 2 cylinder tractors.
Burl Hodges and his team of Welshes.
Doug Spaulding is staying cool in the shade. He’s still serving up the barbecue. There’s a dance tonight, so if you’re in the neighborhood - c’mon up!

Looks like my hometown parade…a handful of real floats, an honorary Senior couple, and then miles of restored tractors!

wow, stuff like this really happens out there. there was going to be a dance… and people would go.
I thought this stuff only happened in movies about small towns.
I am so sheltered.

I love the picture of Melvin. I haven’t seen him in a while. It sounds like the 100th birthday was fun, I’m sorry that I missed it.
