In 1976 the Historical Society expressed an interest in having a float in the Ephrata Fair Parade for the country’s Bicentennial. The Junior Historians did much of the work, putting the Bronstrup iron press on a farm wagon and decorating it. The feature, of course, was getting Harry Stauffer to ride on it. As an extra bonus we won an award for the effort.
