Memory Monday...
Let's have one more parade picture before we move on. No date is given for this O.A. Cooper float. At that time the company was one of the larger employers in the area. (sorry to be a day late this week, yesterday was filled with out-of-town appointments)

Memory Monday…from the Bruun Memorial Library, Humboldt, NE!

This picture shows the Kotouc Bros float from 1928, sitting in front of their store (they were partners in an earlier business on the south side of the square). The Kotouc's later sold to Glen Carpenter and Wayne King (using only the west building for a grocery). The Kotouc family had several business interests and owned several buildings in the community. They also donated many of the historic pictures now in the library collection.

It's almost September and that seems a good time to start looking at some Fair pictures. This picture, from 1938, features Emajoe Newby, Miss Nebraska 1938 (on the Miss Nebraska site her first name is given as Emmajane, but local records have Emajoe). That was the same year she graduated from Humboldt High School.
