Jesse James Days

This past weekend was our town's annual Jesse James Days celebration. Yes, Jesse James was a thief and murderer, but in our area, where he is from, he is celebrated...go figure. I have read that he is compared to Robin Hood...so, yes I guess he is a hero....somewhat!
Anyway, every year, our local historical society, who is in charge of preserving the old train depot we have in town, puts on a weekend long celebration. Saturday is the day where most of the action takes place. The day started with the Boy Scouts raising the flag, a baby show,a parade, then the Boy Scout Tribe of Mic-O-Say dancers. The day wraps up with a country music show presented by local talent. It really is a fun day and a neat time to live in a small community.
Posted below are some pictures of the kids. Marshall took third place in the Little Mister Winston Show. The boys rode their four-wheelers in the parade!
