Description |
Image, digital, black and white, two small children sit in a car on a amusement ride, one is crying, adults in background. Edward Prehm (shirtless) and his sister Donna Prehm Barber sit in a car at the Bartlett Volunteer Fire Department's annual Firemen's Festival. Edward is crying. Perhaps he doesn't want to get off the ride! Held on an August weekend from 1938 to1969 in Bartlett Park, the festival included amusement rides, games of chance, food and beer. The festival was the largest fundraiser for the department who used the profits to purchase equipment, uniforms, training and more. |
