This past week, Beatrice celebrated Homestead Days. There were numerous festivities, including but not limited to a ribfest, activities at Chautaqua Park, lots of things happening at the Homestead. Daniel Freeman was the first homesteader in the US to sign up for the free land. There was also a parade Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't completely cooperative and we had a storm in the middle of the parade, but it was still fun.
This photo is of the Grand Marshals of the the Homestead Days Parade. Kent Thornburg is driving the beautiful horse and buggy. Garold and Clarice Kleveland are the grand marshals. They were all dressed in pioneer garb. The buggy is followed by the pooper scooper cart being pulled by Kent's son.
