Every summer, the
town of Rolfe, Iowa, hosts a celebration called "Greater Rolfe
Days." There is a parade, lots of food, and other activities
including youth water fights sponsored by the Rolfe fire
department.
In 1990, Helen Gunderson, shot footage of the parade and water
fights. In
2012, she edited the footage and posted these clips. Soon, she
will post videos of the 1990 RHS
all-class reunion.
The original footage is part of her collection at the Iowa State
University Special Collections
Department
on the 4th floor of Parks Library on the ISU campus in Ames,
Iowa.
Helen is a fourth-generation
native of the Rolfe area, graduating from RHS in 1963, and
currently lives in Ames, Iowa. If you watch the video and it triggers memories that you would
like to share on this page, please send them to
Helen.
