Do you think you know how many presidents did campaign whistle stops in the Corn City? Chances are you won’t get the answer correct…..there were a lot more than you think……I will be doing a presentation at the Deshler Library on this very topic. I have spent most of the winter going back through old Deshler Flags and also some internet research. I discovered some fascinating stories about all of these stops and I have over 60 pictures that will be shown along with the talk. The date is Thursday, April 23rd and the time is 7:00pm. You won’t want to miss it!
