Ryder News for June 15, 2017
Not much news for this week..I guess all the “good” stuff
happened last weekend! Oh well, the Hiddenwood Picnic is coming up and I will
have news AND pictures!
Speaking of the Hiddenwood Picnic..It’s here! This coming
Sunday, Father’s Day is the big day. The 115th Hiddenwood Old Settlers Annual Picnic will be held on Sunday
June 18th, 2017 on the Hiddenwood picnic grounds 8 miles south of Makoti on
County Road #9. There will be an All Faiths Church Service at 11 a.m. followed
by a potluck lunch (plates and utensils provided). The program following lunch
features the talent of Shelby Huston, 2016 International Fiddle Champion and
Minnesota State Fiddle Champion. Other talent is also welcome on the stage. The
Hiddenwood Ladies’ Famous Pie will be for sale after the program.
John and Janice Warner will be celebrating 100 years at the
Warner farm on June 23rd with a picnic at 5 p.m. and a short program. Merritt
and Annie Warner were married in April of 1917 and homesteaded on what is still
the Warner home quarter. Merritt and Annie had three sons - Murray, Leon and
Glen. Lots of changes happen in 100 years and we would like to share the
memories. Everyone's invited!
The Ryder Museum has recently added a new exhibit on a
child’s eye view of Christmas and is looking for classic toys previous to 1960
or home-made toys and games to add to the display. We are in special need of
boys toys. Currently under construction are new exhibits about the history of
the Ryder Fire Department and Ted’s Garage. In the planning stage is a new
exhibit of a blacksmith shop as it would have appeared about 1920.
The museum is scheduled to be open to the public on
Saturday, June 17th 1-4 in honor of the Reunion of the Class of ’67
and Sunday June 25th for the Peterson Picnic. Saturday, July 15th,
the museum will be open from 3-6 to coincide with the Bullarama. It is also
planned to be open on Sunday July 23, 1-4. Times for August and September will
be determined later. Appointments for special tours can be made by calling Faye
Karna at 758-2527 or John Warner at 726-5663.
The lack of volunteers is the limiting factor for keeping
the museum open. If you would like to be involved in this little gem on the
prairie, call Faye or John to find-out what you can do!
Also a special
appreciation to Dwight Paulson from Madison, WI
and Roger and Kaye Haugen from Des Lacs, ND for the generous monetary
donation to help fund
our projects and upkeep
of our museum. We greatly appreciate every donation!
