Grange
I Continued from Page 1|
conversation at the Penn Hill
Friend’s Meeting Place.
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.
