The Grange’s involvement in legislation, and its interest in prohibition during the first quarter of the century were dramatized. Depression years were brought alive again with the staging of a minstrel show and the group’s involvement in seeking railroad tran sportation. The inception of Fulton Juvenile Grange was dramatized. The Oakryn Hall Purchase was the subject of another scene, complete with the acting out of a duck supper and a com and pie night. Square dancing, summer fun and the Norman Wood Bridge dedication brought the pageant up to present times. The Grange’s concern with doctor shortages and atomic plant construction was the subject of the next to last scene, with a detailing of progress in the final scene.
