Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Del and Dorothy Nelson, Warsaw, received their certificate for a hot air balloon ride over Kosciusko County from Elaine Grill, owner/broker, RE/MAX Rainbow Realtors. The Nelsons will fly across the county with Jerry Hull of Adventures in Ballooning. The ride was awarded in conjunction with the 1990 Parade of Homes.
Kosciusko County's observance of the American Bicentennial celebration was officially opened at a historic site on the Tippecanoe River.
The Fourth found OUR TOWN AND COUNTY packed to the gills with the holiday crowd. The municipal beach on Center Lake was crammed with picnickers, swimmers, sunbathers and the usual quota of showoffs kicking sand in other people's faces, standing on their hands and splashing water. Lots of epidermis was on display.
The glorious Fourth was celebrated at Winona Lake with probably seven or eight thousand people on the grounds. The various contests furnished much amusement. The greased pig contest was won by Cass Dye; the tug of war by Warsaw firemen; the water battle, one of the most spectacular, was a tie; the Warsaw Boys' Club won the majority of the field events in the field meet; while the Boy City boys did some wonderful work during the day.
