    3. Davie, as a matter of fact, during the early days of the 80's when McGehee was trying to find some sort of gimmick to celebrate, they chose "Railroad Days." At one of these first festivals, they had some of the real hobos or tramps come into town and talk about his times as a hobo. As it was, several turned up....this was before MOPAC closed their service. In fact, there was a costume contest for the best-dressed hobo. It was all rather neat, but I really don't know if they still have this celebration anymore. Many of the Prairie boys left and went to the delta to work on the rails. For instance, several of the Rial boys and Don Moses....probably more that I don't know about. Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701
