DON'T FORGET TO VISIT IRA LLOYD ON SATURDAY

There is a very active group in town working toward the restoration of the old insurance building down town...the signature building of main street and our town. That would be the building with the cupola, oriel, or bartizan (I'm the only one who calls it that) that makes our town unique.

Dennis and Clovia Katzenmeier are throwing a celebration in honor of the 130th anniversary of Ira E. Lloyd's arrival in Ellsworth. You can take a trip through history by attending this celebration at the Ira E. Lloyd B & B.

From 2:00 until 5:00 tours of the Lloyd house will be offered, along with high tea...or if you prefer, beans in the bunk house. Or both. Re-enactors will tell stories from the life of Lloyd. Even Billy Thompson is expected to return and relate his experiences in Ellsworth.

Any donations will go to the restoration process and would be very much appreciated by the committee. The building, when completed, will house the National Drovers Hall of Fame.
