Celebrations; Heritagefest; Waverly Electric Utility. The Waverly Light and Power Co. bought new lights for the Bremer Avenue bridge and timed their installation to coincide with Heritagefest. At the close of Friday night's festivities in Kohlman Park, everyone walked to the bridge where the only light was a small one near the musicians. The bridge lights were lit, coming on slowly. The band music on the almost dark bridge set the mood for the crowd. Then, the sound of gunshots echoed across the water as the rendezvousers set off their muskets. More than bystander was a bit surprised.
