Union City Jubilee, September 25, 1908 - #4

The Barbecue ( a series of postcards) in Union City, Michigan celebrating a Jubilee event on September 25, 1908.

Note - The most likely event Union City would have been celebrating on September 25, 1908 would have been surviving the flood that devastated the town on March 8, 1908. The Broadway bridge was washed away, possibly the celebration was that the new bridge had been erected?? The postmarks on the postcards that celebrate the Jubilee are first seen in October of 1908. I am assuming the festival being celebrated on September 25, was in 1908.
