All kinds of memorabilia from Farwell’s former athletic teams were on display in the Farwell gym on Saturday for people to browse through and remember. One of the event organizers, Randy Lukasiewicz, said 120 people attended the events, which included a program at the gym in the afternoon and a dance in the evening at the Pawlowski Community Center. Irma Nesiba Petersen of Kearney gave Farwell a letter sweater that belonged to her late husband. She is the daughter-in-law of Chick Petersen, who was the inspiration for the events on Saturday. Seventy years ago, a large crowd attended Chick Petersen Day in Farwell when the residents honored the former baseball player and community leader. On Saturday, Chick Petersen’s forty-page scrapbook was on display in the gym. An old letter jacket and baseball uniform belonging to the late Daryl Krzycki were among the many other items on display.
