Blunt will mark its 125th birthday in 2009!  Plans are underway to celebrate this important milestone from June 26-28, 2009.  Please mark your calendars now and plan to attend!!

 

At this time 25 rooms have been reserved at the King's Inn in Pierre, and 15 rooms (no double beds available at that time) have been reserved at the Ramkota.

 

Harry Kumpula and De Welch Knudson will co-chair this exciting event.

 

All 125th birthday events will be held in Blunt.  Please start submitting ideas to Harry and De as soon as possible.  A parade, a train ride,  a dance in the Blunt Legion Hall, a fly over, historic walks,  and an outdoor concert are possibilities.  "A Proud Past" is the theme at this time.  If you have a better suggestion, let De know!

 

Harry and De are looking for committee members NOW. Please offer to work on this birthday party.  At this time, members on the committee are:  Dianna Knox, Kathy Walker Blackburn, Gracie Lindbloom Curtis, Randy Pool, Rhonda Kirsch, Kathy Willingham Tartaglia, Rod Parks, and Carol Crain.

 

Historic photos and articles about Blunt should be emailed or snail mailed to De.  Her home mailing address is 2100 East Slaten Court, Sioux Falls, SD 57103.

 

Kathy Walker Blackburn is going to investigate the possibility of printing a book to commemorate this historic step.
