Do you want a reason to reminisce about the past? Want your children to learn some history about their local
area? Are you a seasonal resident, or new resident of the area, and you want to know more about the area?
Lakewood Mardi Gras volunteers will turn the community building into a Lakewood museum for the weekend
of the annual Mardi Gras celebration. The volunteers have been putting together displays and getting orga-
nized for this effort to add something new (and old) to the annual celebration. The historical displays will be
open to FREE public viewing on Saturday, July 15th, from 11;00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.; and on Sunday, July
16th, opening immediately after the noon parade until 4:00 p.m.
There is no local permanent museum focusing on the Lakewood area and volunteers are trying to fill that gap,
if even for just one weekend. The Thielke family has a large collection of pictures and artifacts depicting life
in the past in the Lakewood area. In addition to many old pictures and posters of the Lakewood community,
there will be shadow box displays of memorablia, some dating back more than 100 years, all pertaining to life
as it existed in the area in the past. Tom Thielke indicates that among the themes addressed by the displays
will be the lakes, businesses, school, celebrities such as orchestra leader Wayne King and major league base-
ball player Russ Bauers, early settlers, events and organizations, some family boards, and community leaders.
Shadow box displays include a 1927 wedding dress, local Boy Scout materials from the 1930's, an athletic
warm-up jacket from a Lakewood High School team in the early 1940's, World War II uniforms and clothing
worn by local vets, and a 1950's Yankee pin-stripe Lakewood baseball uniform.
Also, Rita (Thielke) Blazewicz will be providing her veterans display for this museum event. She has more
than a dozen tri-fold display boards with pictures and write-ups of many of the area's deceased and living mili-
tary veterans. To compliment this display are many other posters and collections of military veterans' based
memorabilia. This always popular display will provide many local veterans the opportunity to see the focus on
their military service.
Organizers are making a strong effort to provide an interesting and educational production for anybody with
even just a remote interest in the Lakewood area. Hopefully parents will stop by with their children, before or
after they enjoy the Mardi Gras activites, and show them what life was like in the area years ago. Without a
local museum for permanent displays, this may be the best opportunity in years to learn about the area's glori-
ous past. Mardi Gras organizers are also hoping that visitors will consider trips out to the Holt and Balcom
Logging Camp Museum, the Lakewood Fish Hatchery, and Cathedral Pines, among other area highlights, to
get the true flavor of the Lakewood area on Mardi Gras weekend.
