Yes sir, the Circus came to town.  Some of the kids feed, watered, and walked the animals to get their free pass to the show. Another event was the Movie in the Park.  Just like in the modern era! Maybe you know these kids of the 40's.  Better yet, maybe you have some pictures to share. If so just email shinglelake@gmail.com with the information.

A photo of the Welty Cabin.  This cabin was located north of town and west. Magdalena Welty became Mrs. Norman Tolson.  They both retired in Lake George.  Both had Art Careers before retiring here.  The cabin was one of the early log cabins in this area.  For many residents of the area it was the hill not far from the cabin that was the attraction during the winter.  To learn more of the Tolson's just click on their name in the list on the left and up.
