Thousands Came By The Thousands To Celebrate The Old Rip Occasion

The Creature (Old Rip) That Slept 30-Plus Years in a Corner Stone

Fire protection equipment by the hoards, bands, students, clowns and youth —oh my yes, there was celebrations on top of celebrations on Main Street coming from west to the Courthouse Square to pay tribute to the neat (but strange) creature that is the world record for living 30+ years sealed in the granite stone. Buried on the courthouse square.

But Saturday was a fun, fun, fun day for all ages that gathered to pay tribute and have a jolly old time, get together with food and frolic.
