I was a little young to remember the bands on the weekends, but I remember the spectacle of 1000 cars parked all the way to the top of hill.... Your band?

The only other time the town was that full was for the road rally!

It think it was hastings instead of Holstein

Could be. IF it is the current route you would be correct. Today it swings north to cross the BNSF. Not sure it did in Hastings back in the day. But it sure could

We used to have the Rock Island run through here and went through a couple of our farms. As a kid, I remember if they drove over 25 MPH it would derail. Too bad. Heard a lot of stories of how people could hop on and ride to fairbury and back. How fun would that be.

If I knew how to post pictures I'd have some interesting ones but I'm slow in that area. If you didn't know the us army air corps built bases around Bruning ,Fairmont,Harvard just in this area, man those are neat to check out, my dad was a jr in high school when they had the open house in 1943 for the Bruning one

We had a fighter plane crash 3 miles from where I live according to my dad. I think they flew out of bruning. I think the bombers were based out of Fairmont.

I do know this. Many buses carrying officers made it to Deshler @ the hotel Deshler for whiskey and dancing. Sounds like the females were good hostesses IF you catch my drift. While the cat's away ( off to war) the mice will play.
