Peterson, Iowa Celebrated 150 Years - August 4,5 and 6, 2006

Peterson, Iowa, celebrated its Sesquicentennial August 4-6, 2006, and St. John's United Church of Christ, located just south of Peterson, took part in the festivities. The parade included a float designed and built by Jason Fastenow and his parents, Jesse and Peg. This gallery begins with photos of "Little St. John's" - a miniature of the church that was featured in the parade, and now is on display in the church itself.

Thanks to everyone who helped with our church float. A Special Thanks to: Richard & Iris Kracht; Larry & Betty Kolpin; Jason, Jesse and Peg Fastenow; Wendy, Steve, Jacob & Emma Myers; Doug & Jan Kracht.

My viewers should know that this is the church where I lead worship every Sunday, with Susan at the piano.
