The "players" in the many scenes of village government, business, schools, entertainment and social life are presented in this book. The research for the book was conducted through interviews of several persons who were "players" at the time, a detailed review of all issues of the Fenton Independent and the Fenton Courier , the town's weekly newspapers, for those years, and the review of books, files and other material reposing in the Fenton Museum.The book will sell for $15 and will be available at the Lil Professor Book Store, the Fenton Museum and at the offices of Harris Financial Corporation. $5 of the proceeds from each book will go to the Fenton Historical Society to support their operations.
