THIS SUPER 1954 MTA IS OWNED BY DERRY KUNDE OF ANDREW.    HE BOUGHT IT IN 1968 OR 69 AND IT WAS HIS FIRST FARM TRACTOR.
TRADED IT AND MUCH LATER WAS ABLE TO GET IT BACK AND RESTORE IT

ALL AGES WERE HAVING FUN IN THE DOWNTOWN PARK.    THE FIRST JACKSON COUNTY JAIL IS IN THE STONE BUILDING IN BACKGROUND...A
