For the Tomahawk Leader
TOMAHAWK – The annual Pow Wow Days frog jumping contest, gunny sack races, and kids’ running races at Veterans Memorial Park on the 4th of July were once again a success and a great deal of fun, thanks to the hard work of participants and volunteers.
Among the volunteers were Diane and Jim Timm, who have been helping out at Veterans Memorial Park on Independence Day for 49 years.
