Kewanee Back When Kewanee Kids Christmas Riot

Christmas may have been a month ago but Dave Clarke and Sean Kernan still have some Christmas Cheer left over in the latest edition of Kewanee Back When. In this episode, Dave recalls the Kewanee Kiddie Christmas Riot of 1921. Riot is a bit of an overstatement, but it certainly was chaos when Kewanee put up its first Municipal Christmas Tree and invited Santa Claus himself to hand out candy to thousands of Kewanee kids with only a few adults and several boy scouts acting as Santa's security team.
