Earl and Ruth Shackelton wrote that they did not make the Yellow Medicine County Fair this year with the popcorn wagon and that there was a news article in the Canby News about it on August 1, 1984. Also wrote that they thought they could have a picture of Goldie Landmeyer and her brother, Clarence when they were about 10 or 11 years old, but were not sure that it was them as no name was written on the back of the picture!
