📰 News we're reading

• Back in time: Modern Woodmen of America (hometownsource.com) — Bayport makes several appearances in this historical look at the Modern Woodmen of America, including when South Stillwater’s camp grew to 90 members and later hosted free films at the Bayport Theater in 1925. The piece traces how Stillwater- and Bayport-area lodges supported families, organized social events, and even fielded drill teams before the local camp eventually dissolved.
