Percival’s 150th Celebration

There was a lot happening in Percival last weekend due to their 150th anniversary celebration.  The following pictures were taken Saturday at the church where the chicken dinner, historical displays, variety show and panel discussion of Percival’s history took place. To start the night of entertainment we had some Cheerleaders featuring Madison Hammons, Kirsten Hall and Grace Zach.    Please note you can click on the pictures to enlarge them.

A few of the audience members joined in to share some of their stories as well.  I think everyone enjoyed listening to all the memories.
