More great Stump-in photos!

We found some rare and precious photos from Waldesruh Stump-ins in one of Anna's old scrapbooks: 1974: Master of ceremonies E.W. Sprick opened the gala ceremonies with a speech. Cousin Sammy politely paid attention. Cousin Davy and his maternal cousin, Bobby LaMont, not so much!
During the Stump-in, relatives set out on a walk to identify and have tagged their Christmas tree. Emma waved as Kate, Alma and Joe stood by.
It must have been quite a grueling walk, because eventually some of the relatives parked their butts on the ground to rest. Among them were Hart, Annette and Seth Kulseth, Margaret and Edwin LaMont, C.J. Kirkwood, Ed Sprick, Alma Bremer, Uncle Joe, Emma Sprick Krociel and LeRoy Sprick.
1975: Aunt Marion Sprick Broberg presented the Blueberry Queen Award to Alverna, who probably would have rioted if she HADN'T won it. Cousin Sammy listened closely to his mom.
Sarah Broberg's birthday was celebrated in grand style with help from her mom, Marion; Aunt Annette; Goldie Holzworth; cousin Tuck Kirkwood, and brothers Sam and Dan Broberg.
This photo is faded and fuzzy, but the silhouettes are distinct -- Uncle Ed Sprick, cousin Davy "Lamar" Sprick, Uncle LeRoy Sprick and the Coveted Burnt Wienie Award, which we believe went to LeRoy that year.
