Join Mayor Kaptain at 12:15, as the community recognizes Dr. Joseph Tefft. Dr. Tefft was Elgin's first Mayor, local physician and dairy farm owner. Five years after Dr. Tefft's death, 50 acres of his dairy farm turned into what we know now as Lords Park. Following the dedication, activities will include: How to Milk a Cow sponsored by Elgin History Museum and at 1:00 pm JG Reptile show sponsored by Elgin Public Museum.
