ELCO CAMPMEETING

Photo contributed by Frank Beasley
Campmeeting has been held at the Pentecostal Camp Ground on the south edge of Elco for many years.
This pictures one of the early
years, probably shortly before or during WWI.
At this time the participants lived in tents or small huts during
the week long meeting.
Notice the sawhorse benches.
