E. Bremer was blocked off for the carnival and sale during Ridiculous Day in 1952. Another photo shows the ferris wheel which was set up just east of this picture. With the Bremer Ave. bridge out in 2025 the DOT might allow a repeat. All in a row from left: Meine Kettner's clothing, Doug William shoe store, Kerwin's clothing and Sears.
This photo along with many others was made from negatives in the newspaper archives which were donated to the Waverly Public Library.
For additional information see Bremer County Independent, July 27, 1960.
Downtown, main street, Kettner's Clothing, Doug's Shoes, Kerwin Clothing ("Three of Iowa's Finest Clothing Stores, Waverly, Oelwein, Cedar Falls"), Sears. Merchandise is placed on the sidewalk. Shoppers.
