Sunshine Special comes to LuverneThe following article was printed in the Rock County Herald on Friday, Aug. 22, 1924:Large delegation from business institutions of City to pay visit to Luverne"Sioux Falls Commercial Club’s ‘Sunshine Special,’ composed of a delegation of more than 135 people from the wholesale and retail business establishments of Sioux Falls, will pay a visit to Luverne next Wednesday, Aug. 27. The Sunshine Special train will arrive over the Omaha at 9:30 o’clock Wednesday morning, and after remaining here for 30 minutes, will leave over the Doon line for Rock Rapids. With the businessmen’s delegation will be the Sioux Falls Municipal band, and a number of vocalists of splendid ability. The main purpose of the visit is to enable members of the delegation to meet the people connected with the business houses of Luverne to the end that they may better understand their requirements and needs in a commercial way. Next most important mission is to spread sunshine and promote fellowship. Members of the Sunshine Special desire to meet just as many people from this section as possible, and Sec. Chas. McCaffree, of the Sioux Falls Commercial Club has asked the Herald to state that the delegation especially desires to have just as many children as possible, present when the special arrives. There will be souvenirs for all of them."Donations to the Rock County Historical Endowment Fund can be sent to the Rock County Historical Society, P.O.
