John Loftus is pictured in the Loftus Grocery at 8th and Siegel in Tama in this 1950s-60s photo from the collection of former resident Cheryl Woodworth, now of Sherman, Texas. The neighborhood grocery was a favorite of those attending the nearby Tama and later Tama-Toledo and South Tama high schools.
Events continue to be finalized according to Sesquicentennial Committee members Deb Kouba and Rosemary Brady who reported to the Tama City Council Monday night.
A street dance sponsored by the Eagles club, Kiddie Peddle Tractor Pull sponsored by the Future Farmers of America, food and refreshments galore capped off by a spectacular fireworks display over Cherry Lake are just a few of the many activities planned.
