Charles Wilkins was once a mayor of Wenonah and on the school board. This company was his day job.

It's the program from Wenonah Athletic Association's First Annual Sports Dinner in 1965. There are a lot of familiar names on the three teams and among the advertisers. In 1965 baseball was the sport that the association was built around.

This poster was included in the donation received from John and Melissa Lock. Anyone remember what year the parade came through Wenonah?

Mystery solved!!!

A letter from the Underwood Memorial Hospital Horse Show and Fair Committee was read at the September 13, 1985 meeting of the Wenonah Historical Society thanking the Society for its help in making the fair a success.

Therefore, the parade came through Wenonah in 1985. (I confirmed that June 9, 1985 was a Sunday as noted on the poster.)
