Center Minot Grange celebrates its 100th anniversary Saturday night with special programs and a visit from State Grange Master James Shores and State Grange Flora Dorothy Shores. The State Grange officials arrived at the century-old building much as Grangers did 100 years ago, via a two seat, horse-drawn wagon, driven by Dwight Tripp. A highlight of the evening program was music by the Hebron Experience barbershop quartet, comprising Cotton Damon, Robert Gunn, Galen Veayo and Bill Eldridge.
A total of 87 were present for the 100th anniversary celebration.
