June
28, 1949 marks the celebration of Erdahl, Minnesota's much beloved
mail man, Flem Dorkenson's last day of work. Flem delivered sticks of
butter to each resident noting that, "Every things better with
butter." There is a statue of Flem in Erdahl and on every June
28th a wreath of butter is placed at its base.

Thomas
McKinnel confessed to long time nieghbor, Phil McSinchup that he was
really from Italy, his real name was Giuseppe
Columbo Enrico, he loved the Tartan but hated the food so much
he was going back to his village in Italy to open a dress shop.
And let us not
forget June 2, 1898.
Nine years old Albert Swink successfully ran to
second base without tripping. The towheaded Swink immediately
announced his feat to the crowd, "Second base is now my first
favorite base! First base used to be my favorite but now second is my
most favorite.*"
*No
one had the heart to tell Albert he was lucky seven years old out
fielder Brian Regan was too busy looking at the sun to catch a high
flyer and hence even if Swink had tripped he would have had plenty of
time to get to second base.
