Saturday the Anamoose Civic Club Harvest Fest started at 8am with Co-ed softball games, & ended at midnight after the dance. The Martwick team took first place at the softball games.. In the afternoon there were 12 teams for horseshoes with Kelly Schmaltz & Chris Martin taking first place. Pictured: Joel Doubek –

Janice Buchholz said they had a good crowd for the afternoon bingo. Fred Hase & Bob Becker had 16 play Wii Bowling. Tyler Fahy was the winner.
The toilet race had people cheering loudly as Brad Lageson (pushed by Austin Schatz) easily beat Kelsie Fahy. He won the grand prize of a package of toilet paper!
Many came for the Fire-men’s Raffle & Chili Feed at the Fire Hall. Brent Weninger was the MC for the event. I heard Sunday they went through 6 1/2 roasters of chili. Karrie Opdahl, Fessenden, won the grand prize (pictured), but many in attendance won smaller prizes. (Patsy Frey, Dennis Zimmerman & Barb Helm picking out their prizes).
Good music was enjoyed by young & old. In the afternoon Francis Seefeld & Marvin Helland entertained on their accordians & at 9pm the After Dark band warmed up the crowd.
The Civic Club lunch wagon was popular all day & many high school students helped serve. The carmel rolls sold out fast at the ball games. I found out what a shipwreck is (nachos, hamburger, & cheese), & how popular they are.
