on the steps of the state capitol. His father James J Hill built the Great Northern Railroad and he went on to take over. Home schooled until he went to Exeter then Yale, the family home was a large mansion up on Summit Avenue that now gives public tours en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_W._Hill

Pixel Wrangler they must have sent a cub reporter :) I don't think anyone here would have any idea what an outdoor sports carnival parade would be. Perhaps it was a topical parade at this carnival.

Kilted Cowboy and Pixel Wrangler: Thanks to both of you for the further information on this event. We will add a bit more detail to the record.
