At our January 10th meeting we had a resident speaker, Mike Condo, who owns land where a
historical meeting took place. The number of people who attended these annual meetings
was staggering. The purpose of the huge "picnic" was to keep the pioneer stories and
information alive, and to see old friends and neighbors. The area residents as well as people
from all over the surrounding counties and Indiana counties came in wagons, on foot and on
horseback, later meetings including automobiles. It began in 1883 and ended in 1941. He
stated it was an all day affair with baskets full of fried chicken. The program was very
informative and interesting to our members and guests.
