A piece of Gillett’s history has returned to the city and will be on display at the Gillett Area Historical Society’s Fall Festival. The “little red car,” once a familiar sight on Gillett streets, will be on display Oct. 6 at the carriage house of the GAHS museum.
The car dates back to 1925 when Nick Stromer was head of the commercial car manufacturers.
Even though the calendar indicates fall officially returns Sunday to the path around the Falls, frost was observed on a few roofs and cars on Monday morning’s commute to work.
Fall is a favorite time of year for many who make their homes in the area, but an early frost and the end to the growing season is not something people look forward to.
I guess I’m gradually turning into my dad. The other day, after an exhausting day working on my deck in the 85-degree weather, I said to Marilyn, “I’m plumb tuckered out!” Now, why in the world would I say that?
I haven’t heard that expression in probably 60 years. But my dad used to say it, and suddenly there it was coming out of my mouth.
Dad was a hard-working guy, and by evening he was usually bushed (Wow! There’s another one!).

Noffke was held in check for the rest of the game, rushing 13 times for -4 yards. Alex Zeitler completed eight passes for 113 yards and an interception.

The Panthers (0-3, 0-3 Bay) got on the board on a 19-yard touchdown throw from Samuel Konitzer in the fourth, but couldn’t close the rest of the gap.
