Greater Rolfe Days 2000

Every summer, the town of Rolfe, Iowa, has a weekend celebration called "Greater Rolfe Days" with a parade down the town's main street on Saturday morning. Helen Gunderson is a native of the Rolfe area and has documented many of her hometown activities. In 2000, the Rolfe High School all-class reunion was on the same weekend as the towns celebration. That meant the town was full of people, and Helen wanted to get lots of both still photographs and video footage. So she was there with her 35 mm camera and had her videographer friend, Denny Goodrich from Ames, come with camcorder. So actually, Denny deserves the credit for the camera work for this video, but Helen was the one who edited and posted it. It's a short piece: just the highlights of the parade. Helen's parents, Marion and Deane Gunderson, were the honorary parade marshals. Helen's Web site is at:
