A MAYOR AT DINNER
Beginning in the 1920’s,
Faribault regularly celebrated the diversity of products manufactured
in town with a “Made in Faribault” dinner. This photo,
ca. 1950, shows Mayor Frank Duncan working hard to instill civic
pride by enjoying locally-made Fleck’s beer and Treasure
Cave Cheese.

an annual festival and parade.
