Dusty Diary in Ypsi Citizen!

Dusty Diary takes great pleasure and pride in telling you that the first of my weekly columns for the Ypsilanti Citizen has just been published in the Citizen's new "Voices" section!

My first story is about a onetime festival that brought a bit of color and joy to kids during the Depression, with carnival rides set up right on Michigan Ave! Read all about it here!

Excellent column, Laura. Just wondering, was there an agricultural component, or was it just fun, fun, fun? Did they give away any food to the hungry?

Thank you, Lisele! So far as I read, it was really just a name...I don't recall any agricultural displays or food distribution, aside from carnival food stalls.
