Happy Hour in Ricketts; April 1957

Irvin Bartles and Julius Christiansen (tipping hat) get their drinks from Albert Langholdt, tending bar at Whip's Tavern. Got pictures that prove somebody wasn't at home for supper? Send us your stories and memories of Ricketts and we'll post them too.

The Bottom Line

Customers lined up from miles around to enjoy the food in "the cafe'" (otherwise known as Whip's Tavern). Laura and Whip put on plenty of special deer-feeds and nut-frys through the years.

Santa Claus Day in Ricketts, 1953

Folks climb aboard Santa's wagon outside of Whip's Tavern on Main Street in Rickett, waiting for a ride. We recognize Ray Pruess in the glasses on the left, Paul Briggle in the fadora hat, and Frankie Dorfler holding the reins (in the double breasted coat) in the front of the wagon. Do you recognize anyone else? Are YOU in this picture?

Send us your stories and pictures of Ricketts memories and we'll be happy to share them.
