June 29, 1928, Menasha Record
The Fourth of July celebration of 1928 also saw the dedication of the Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Building in Smith Park. Known affectionately as "the Mem," the building has been a mainstay in Menasha recreation for over 90 years now. In celebration of its newest building, Menasha went all out, as evidenced by the extensive roster of events as listed above. There was something for everyone, it seems, to include the award of a Nash automobile for one lucky recipient. It must have been a grand occasion.
The tracks on the opposite side of the river were those of the Menasha Ice Company at the foot of DePere Street.
