The quality community that we live in (Leavitt) had a celebration for 125 years. They had created a history book over the last year or so. They also had a breakfast, a parade, kids games, a program and an auction. It was the windiest day imaginable. I guess that's normal for Leavitt. Our family rode our horses in the parade. Grandpa Buck was the auctioneer for the auction. A lot of people that grew up in Leavitt came to the celebration.
This is Lamont & Phyllis Leavitt. They lived in a house at the beginning of our road until about a year ago when they moved into assisted living. He is 99 and she is 96. They were the parade marshals for the Leavitt parade. On a side note, they had a big family birthday celebration planned for his 100th birthday - July 30. He ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding and passed away a week before his birthday. They did end up having his funeral on his 100th birthday. I guess that is also a great way to celebrate your 100th birthday. We all hope we can have as good of health and as much energy as Phyllis and Lamont. They still grew a garden until they moved out of their house. They would hop on their four-wheeler and bring us cucumbers.
