Uffda Day in Snussville 1999

Despite chilly temperatures a large crowd was on hand to enjoy a good time in Rutland, or Snussville, as it’s referred to on Uffda Day. More than 80 units participated in the Sunday, October 3, parade that was kicked off with a fly-over by local aviator Rodney Erickson and his boss, Steve Weatherby of Weatherby Ag Services, in a World War II AT-6 trainer. Craft booths, food stands and other exhibiters reported a brisk business. Many visitors were impressed by the displays in the Depot Museum and the Pioneer House including the new attraction of a one-room school house. The schoolhouse was once used in Dunbar Township and was filled with school memorabilia. Uffda Day chairpersons Doris Hoistad, Hal Nelson, and Lori McLaen delivered their report on the Uffda Day success at the Community Club meeting on October 12.
