Can you tell what’s happening at the end of Huntsville’s Main Street in this 1938 image?
This photo is from Huntsville: More Pictures from the Past, the second book produced by the then- Heritage Huntsville committee. A new edition of it’s first book, Pictures from the Past: Huntsville Lake of Bays, will be released soon.

Last week we shared this photo with you:
The inaugural Flapjack Jamboree was presented by the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce in May 1980. They served up pancakes, sausage and beans to welcome summer visitors (permanent residents had a special invitation, too).
These Huntsville Chamber of Commerce members are (from left) John Finley, Dorothy Lake, Bob Johnson, Win Bestwick, Brian Tapley, Dave Chamberlain, Bob Dickson, and Ted Bionda.

Re Muddy Main Street, my guess the construction of the swing bridge.
It was a blast from the past seeing my former Chamber of Commerce Directors in last week’s Wayback Wednesday. Does anyone remember the rodeos the Chamber organized in the 1980s? They were held up on the Lions Lookout.
