Versailles Indiana 1960s & 70s. I have tried to include as many landmarks that people will remember. The 5 or so minutes was extracted from the 40 minute full video.
This is a great blast from the past, I have heard stories from Sugar Bear (Dan Halcomb) about the raft race. Great fun and even more fun once you get to the end in Friendship. It would be great to have the race again.
my name is jeff dickerson...bill dickerson is my grandpa...danny is his brother...my grandpa was watching this and couldnt beleive seeing his brothers name mentioned because he had just told me about his brother starting the rafts up
Notice Junior Mays at the 2:25 mark of the video, Credit goes to Shawn Halcomb for spotting Junior.

Cool! I'm sure Greg would be up for a raft race! Looks like there was a lot going on back then.

Great work, I am sure these videos will bring back good memories for some folks. Maybe we can talk the town into bringing back the raft race.
