Events Begin on June 15, 1983
The Fridley '49ers is an organization which was developed to commemorate the 25th
anniversary of Fridley. From that group a number of individuals under the auspices of the
Fridley Chamber of Commerce formed the nucleus of the organization that developed the first
'49er Days held June 26-29, 1975.
The choice of the name "Fridley '49ers" was intended to observe three important events: the
drafting of the Charter of the City of Fridley in 1949;the designation as a territory in 1849 of the
area which is now the State of Minnesota;and also in 1849,the start of the Gold Rush Days in the
West.The logo of the'49er Days,the covered wagon and oxen,was to combine each of these ideas.
The responsibility of the'49ers is to organize and develop an annual community celebration
and to implement plans to carry out these celebrations.

June they say is the wedding month
And I suppose that's true.
But golly gee there's a whole lot more
In June that you can do.
Sumner days are here at last.
Kids are having a lark!
How about a picnic,
Some Sunday, in the park?
Vacation time has really come
Our plans are made with care;
So much time we'll spend this place, Ur
A little more time spend there.
In orchards fruit is ripening,
But we must wait to see
How big a crop we'll harvest and
Just what our yield will be.
No June ain't just for weddings
There's much more to be done.
June is a terrific month
For having lots of fun.
