A large group of Haxtun people are pictured at the Holyoke train depot to promote the Haxtun harvest festival. The Aug. 16, 1912, issues of The Holyoke Enterprise and State Herald say that 10-12 auto loads of “the best boosters on earth” and the Haxtun commercial club arrived in Holyoke from Haxtun to “let us know they were on the map” and that from Aug. 28-30, Haxtun was going to do herself proud with a baseball tournament and harvest festival. — Source: Phillips County Museum
