Museum Staff "Cokato Boys Basketball." In The Midst Of, Cokato Historical Society (December, 2022) vol. 42 no. 4. When the Cokato Public School girls’ basketball team folded in the fall of 1904, the lone basketball (literally there was only one) was up for grabs. Soon after, a boys team was formed and the first game was played against Howard Lake out-of-doors in February.
Mike Worcester "The Black Eagle Comes To Cokato." In The Midst Of, Cokato Historical Society (February, 2017) vol. 37 no. 1. Each fall, from 1903 through 1915, the Cokato Street Fair took place. We have written about those before. We also have two files of images from those events. One of those images came to us in July 1996. It was an undated postcard view of a speaker at one of the fairs. The image, seen be-low, showed how community events in those days functioned. The caption reads: “SPEECH, BY, SEN. M.E. CLAPP, “COKATO FAIR” COKATO MINN.”
Irene Bender, "Ice Harvesting." In The Midst Of, Cokato Historical Society (Winter, 1991) vol. 11 no. 1. Interest in presenting and documenting local history was evident at the annual meeting of the Cokato Historical Society and 125 people attended a program on ice harvesting. Donnie Johnson and Milton Mattson, who harvested and delivered ice in the 30s, told many interesting stories. Slides from the photographs that Milt Mattson had taken of the complete process from cutting to stacking the cakes in the ice house served as a visual aid to explain the ice harvest. Those photographs provide a valuable resource in documenting a service that was important in the community before electric refrigeration and coolers.
