LAST WORD
By Millie Drum
When Larry Eastwood
bought Vic’s
Café in 1973, little
did he know the Pioneer Day
Bean Feed was part of the deal.
Quoting from a story I wrote
in 2013 to mark Larry’s 70th
birthday, Larry said, “Vic did it
before me and I still have the
original recipe.”
Terry Black owned the local
tire shop and was a Lions member.
Larry recalled, “He came
wandering across the street four
days after I opened to tell me
about a recipe for the Pioneer
Day beans. I found it and gave it
to him. He handed it right back
to me and said, ‘You’re in charge
now!’ If it wasn’t for me and Darryl
Drum, my right-hand man, it
wouldn’t have happened for all
these years. We’ve had a good
time out there.”
After 44 years for Larry and
32 for Darryl, it’s time for their
well-deserved departure from
the Pioneer Day tradition. This
year was the last time that Larry
and Darryl started before
dawn, fired up the burners, and
helped the crew hoist almost
2,400 pounds of fixin’s into the
100-gallon bean pots. The next
milestone will be in three years
when Lion Duane Picanco
marks 50 years!
Next year, Scout Leader David
Kudija will coordinate the
effort with our local Boy Scout
Troop 60. Larry agreed to return
one more time…making it 45!
