17th Annual Algona Founders' Day Festival

From 17th Annual Algona Founders' Day Festival Website:

Beginning in 1999, the Algona Founders Day quickly became a tradition honoring the two men who founded the community. On July 10, 1854, brothers, Asa C. Call, and Ambrose A. Call, noted the beauty of the location overlooking the river and the bluffs beyond, with a fine grove of timber to the North and South. Asa said, Ambrose, I believe this is the place for our city.

A joint City of Algona & Algona Chamber of Commerce celebration, Founders Day is a celebration for all ages. Many school and family reunions are planned around the event as it grows each year.
