BLUEGRASS BREAKDOWN

It was a hot day but The Haigler 6th Annual Bluegrass Breakdown was attended and enjoyed by well over 400 people from a wide area surrounding Haigler. The beautiful, well kept, Village Park with it's many tall trees provided plenty of shade to make the heat bearable. The concession booths were well prepared to serve hungry people. The Lutheran ladies began serving Barbecued Sandwiches, Baked Beans, German Potato Salad, Watermelon, etc. a little before noon until they ran out of food by six o'clock. The Methodist Ladies were prepared with 50 pies and gallons of ice-cream for dessert, all of which "hit the spot" considering the warm day. Their supplies were also sold out. Consequently, none went away hungry. A 4H group, C.W.H, was raising money to go to Washington, D.C. Banker, Pat Rotherham, of Benkelman, had the distinction of winning the "Kiss the Pig" contest. About $1600 was collected in the boot which will go towards village improvements and continuing the H.I.C. scholarship.
