Small Town Celebration

Here in our little town, we are having a two day celebration starting today. It is in honor of the Duesenberg brothers who invented the Duesenberg auto. They had a little shop right on main street and the building was still there when we moved here in 1970. It has since been torn down, but the celebration continues. There will be lots of food and plenty for the children to do. Saturday night, they will have a dance for the adults. Tonight they will choose among the 6 year olds to decide who will be Little Miss Duesey. Our neighbor girl is competing and the judging will be tonight. I hope she wins. They will have a Parade tomorrow and she will have a special place in the parade. I will go and sit with family and watch the parade.

Duesey Days

It is Duesey Days in our little town today. This is the home of the men who invented the Duesenburg Automobile. Their little shop was on main street for many years until just a few years ago, it got so old and bad, they had to tear it down. But every year they still have a celebration with a parade this morning and family fun in the park for all. Lots of things for the kids to do and lots of food to eat including turkey legs and funnel cakes. There are many activities including crowning the little Duesey Day Queen last night. I don't think those running for it are more than about 8 years old. She will ride in the Parade this morning as Royalty. It is cloudy now but it should clear up, we hope.
