A great photo from the Lakefield past. It still stands but looks a lot different!

I looked for a picture of the Lakefield skating rink after a skate case came into the JCHS with the "Lakefield skating rink" featured on the side. I was excited to see this photo posted on Lakefield Memories. It was located in the park to the east of the Lakefield florist.

This photo is on eBay. Appears to be a posed photo before a city celebration in about 1914 or early 1915. Note no water tower or Bettin Hardware building. The first Farmer's State Bank is there. I wish I could read the banner ????

This is truly kind of a mystery no one wants to admit why they es**rted him out of the building what's the big hush hush was he stealing money or what's the deal I think the people of the board need to be transparent and come forward with whatever information they have as an excuse for getting rid of Mike he did an awesome job we all know that so why es**rt him out the door come on people you work for the county let's have a little transparency should we
