"Welcome Home" for the Veterans of World War I

In the fall of 1919, Norway Township sponsored a "Welcome Home" for its Veterans of World War I.  The Celebration featured a barbecued beef dinner at noon, a basketball game and a program in the afternoon, and a dance for the Veterans and their guests in the evening.  John Hugos prepared the barbecued beef.  A huge crowd attended and gave the boys a real "Welcome home."
