Ex-Nebraskans in
Annual Picnic
It was Ainsworth and Lincoln,
“I’m from Brown county” and
“I’m from Holt county” at the
annual Nebraska picnic, held at
the Caldwell, Ida., Memorial
park Sunday, August 17. News
of the picnic was forwarded to
The Frontier by Mrs. It E. Bow
ring of Kuna, Ida.
Several thousand former resi
dents of Nebraska, who now live
in southwestern Idaho and east
ern Oregon, with a few visitors
from Nebraska, Washington, Ore
gon and Colorado, were present
for the annual affair.
Tables were filled with the
food from the farm and the
picnickers, most of them sun
tanned farm folk of Canyon
county and Ada county, turned
to reminiscing during the lunch
hour.
The speaker for the occasion
was Leo J. Mason, former Cald
well mayor who was in that of
fice when the Nebraskans held
their first picnic here, attended
by 4,090 persons, in 1949.
“I’m very happy to welcome
you to Caldwell again,” Mason
told the group. “You came to
Idaho and made it the great
state that it is today. You are a
fine people, thrifty and ener
getic, and that is what has built
the Boise valley, Idaho and the
Northwest Idaho is new and has
«■■■■ "TTi'i ——
just started to grow. I know of
no place that is as productive
or is a better place to live in than
the Boise valley.
“Idaho is justly proud to have
you former Nebraskans here.”
The group elected J. E. Dad
dow of Caldwell president, suc
ceeding Herb Moore of Caldwell /
who after being in that position
for three years refused to run
again. Moore was elected vice
president and Maude Gepford of
Boise secretary.
Leading community singing
was Rev. Harold N. Nye, ac
companied at the piano by Mrs.
Nye. Mrs. Ralph Wagener played
and music students of Virginia
Famer also provided music for
the program.
