Love the picture! I'm quite sure I was there that day. I would have been 7 years old, and my cousins and I were probably in the parade dressed in our costumes. If I remember correctly we each got 50 cents. Then we all ate pasties at the Runeberg Hall (is that right?) and then entered in all those fun races in the afternoon. Dollar Bay 4th of July celebrations through the years are some of my fondest memories as a kid. Most of our family came home to visit our Grandma and Grandpa Laplander in Woodside, and we got to see a whole bunch of our cousins. I remember one year our Uncle Rick let us kids sit up front in the fire truck with him and blow the siren in the parade. Boy did we think that was neat. Those were the days!

Yes, Im sure we had pasties at the Runebergs also. The picture is a bit fuzzy as it was scanned from an old slide. I sure remember Emil & Mary, and I even worked under Rick at the wire mill catching copper rods

CC Kid in AZ:
Your Uncle Rick use to fix TV's back in the late 50's early 60's. My dad use to always take ours there and he would give us a loaner. Also remember those great D.B. 4th of July as well.Those were the dayz!!!

Hey! that CC kid in AZ is my cousin! Hi Sue! I almost fell off my stool when I saw these names!! We weren't there for that 4th, but I remember driving my mom, sis Sue & Mary,& brother Bill up to Gram & Gramp Laplanders 50th anniversary that year in early June! All of ours first ride ever across Big Mac! I'm confused as to where exactly this pic was taken. If the brown building on the left was Johnnys Market, we lived upstairs in those windows in 1946. The grey building across from it tho looks like the old Copper Country Dairy. But that can't be--yes?/no? Many an evening I spent in Uncle Rick's radioshack listening to him talk "ham" radio all around the world! "W8ZDQ"

Hello cousins Susie and Russ,
Russ, yes, that's Johnny's Market in the picture. We lived in half the upstairs and you came there to live with us for a short time. An old woman named Mrs. Grentz lived in the other apartment. Remember the outhouse behind the old barn? I was there for a 4th of July celebration two years ago. When I pointed out the building to my son-in-law and told him I used to live there, his reply was, "No wonder you have allergies!"
Regardless, those were good days.

Russ & Judy, I have to correct you on the building on the left. The name is changed, but in those day but back then, it was Sebbas Bar. The building you are refering to was at one time Kus,s Market

Russ, I should have added , yes that is the old CC Dairy.Have you heard from Dave lately?? Nothing on my end.

Just to clarify the building. Yes, it was Kus' Market. It was also Johnny's Market (our name for it.) The owner was Johnny Kus. I remember very clearly talking to Johnny when my mom would send me downstairs to buy whatever she needed for dinner - no refrigerators back then - you bought items when you needed them. I don't ever remember it being Sebbas' Bar. That was farther down the street.

Judy I'm afraid your memory has you a bit wrong. The building on the left is ,and always has been a bar. Its located on the East side of Main St and Ave E, Kus's market would be one block south, on Ave F and Main St on the West side.

I have a picture of me same yr.I was just up the road by the Runeberg Hall getting a whistle from the Bunny Bread bunny.The building is Arnold Sebbas bar going down Ave E. towards Fred Rose home the parade will turn right & go up past Runar Engman's house up to the Luthern Church & turn right again back up to Main St.The old route,i dont like the new route they used the past few yrs.Hello to you cousin Bob,& my good friend Russ,all is fine with me here in TN.

wow! speaking of Runar Engman, that sure looks like him pointing at the float.

The picture is great. My fondest memories of the UP were over july 4th holidays. The buiding in the picture is Arnold Sebbas' bar. It was my grandfather's. I am named after him. In the late 60's early 70's it become my father's bar. Dave Sebbas. He sold it in the mid 70's to Bob Partenen and although ownership has changed it's still called Partenens Bar.

does anyone remember any other families from $Bay - Chechack, Spellich, Sterk, Phillips, Signe Dahl, Gilbert?
