As volunteers from the Flagler County Historical Society gathered around a large cake on Bunnell History Day, June 7, at Eddie Johnson Park, a man showed up holding a 100-year-old, two-man lumberjack-style saw, 6 feet long.
“Somebody said you needed help cutting the cake?” quipped Preston Zepp, preservation specialist for the Historical Society.
The saw was declined, but the cake was cut and distributed to the crowd that had gathered for the event, 10 months in the making — or 101 years, depending on how you look at it. (Bunnell was incorporated as a city in 1924, as a town in 1913.)
The event featured tours of historical sites in Bunnell; speakers James Abraham, Pat Mitchell and Chris Kahl; 10 historical reenactors; the unveiling of an original artwork by J.J. Graham; an antique car show; and a mechanical bull.
The Historical Society officers are President Ed Siarkowicz, Vice President Tonya Gordon, Secretary Theresa Owen, and Treasurer Susan Baird.
LITTLE RED SCHOOL HOUSE
800 Howe St.
Located within the campus of Bunnell Elementary School, this museum captures the look and components of the single room school houses that once served Flagler County. The building was constructed in 1938 as part of the Bunnell High School for the FFA (Future Farmers of America) students.
