Do you know how Roger's Park came to be?  How many of you remember the Band Booster Girls?  This clever group of Minburn girls were responsible for acquiring our wonderful park.  They raised money and bought the Roger's homestead in 1917.  Talk about good work!  They held ice cream socials, band fairs, lyceum programs, dinners and a Calico Carnival.  They worked diligently to care for the park but after it became too much work they deeded it to the city.  Was there someone in your family who was Band Booster Girl?  Do you have an old photograph to share?

 Here's their Rally Song!

"We are boosters, don't you see...

And we want you to agree,

Just to help boost Minburn to the top

It's the best town on the map;

We know you'll all agree to that...

Won't you help us-

be a booster now and boost?

--------

Be a booster now, and boost...

That's our motto, don't forget;

Help to boost old Minburn right along;

For we want our town to be

The best town you will see;

Don't be knocking...be a Booster now...

AND BOOST!
