Video weekend update

The woman who started Mother's Day, also tried to stop it?

The American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna Jarvis in 1908 and became an official U.S. holiday in 1914. Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from the calendar. She took her efforts all the way to the top- including the rejection of a holiday stamp designed by Franklin D. Roosevelt.You can find some more interesting facts about Mother's Day here.

Despite her efforts, we will be celebrating Mother's Day this Sunday. Enjoy your weekend.

FLASHBACK: Bailey's Cafe

Rear entrance of Bailey's Cafe, early 1960's

Many moons ago, 71 highway came straight through Butler; the bypass wasn't completed until the late 60's.

This presented the Butler strip with an opportunity for plenty of customers and consequently there were many fine eateries such as Bailey's Cafe on the north end.

The building remains mostly unchanged today; it is now attached to the north end of the county storage building next door to Midwest Lumber company.
