1964

Second Monday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the museum in Flandreau

This year is the 13th Annual Good Old Summertime 4th of July Festival as well as the Annual Honoring of Elders over 80 years of age. The festival promotes the county's non-profit organizations and provides an opportunity for the organizations to raise funds for their projects. The City Band performs at 1 p.m. This year they are excited to be using the new band shell that was built last fall on the old swimming pool area near the museum grounds. There are booths serving food, and games for the children.  An Ecumenical Service is held in the first frame building in Moody County, the First Presbyterian Church, built in 1873 by the Santee Settlers. The festival draws a large crowd with school reunion "students," families and friends who enjoy sitting, eating and visiting. The National Guard Recruiting Tent offers a cool place for the Elders to sit and enjoy the day.
