Stryker Summerfest was a great day

    Summerfest had wonderful weather and lots of people took advantage of it.
    The community had a host of events including the parade, coordinated by the Stryker Area Heritage Council. Lots of units turned out for the parade whose theme was a commemoration of  the 175th anniversary of the birth of William J. Knight.
     The Stryker Heritage Center was open after the parade, and a good number of folks took the opportunity to walk through the museum in the depot.
     That included Kamie Weber of Stryker pictured on the left and Jeannie Forry of Archbold on the right who are shown looking through the display of Stryker school memorabilia.
     There was a special display about William Knight, who was one of the first Congressional Medal of Honor recipients.
     The new depot replica were available for purchase that day and will now remain on sale (see story below).
     Thanks to everyone who stopped by, all of those who put an entry in the parade, and to everyone who helped to make the Summerfest a great day!
