Crescent Dairy
​Among one of the finest ranches and businesses in the entire county of Grant is the Crescent Dairy, owned and operated by E. F. Schieb. The dairy herd, barn and equipment necessary to properly maintain the high standard of sanitation indispensable to serving the public in a business of this highly particular character, are located on a ranch of 320 acres near Soap Lake. 


The buildings to be found here are of the best and most modern, into which have been incorporated highly scientific ideas.

May Day​
Into the 20th century, America  celebrated the innocence of spring.  Flowers, candies and other goodies were gathered in handmade baskets and secretly hung on the front door knobs of friends, neighbors and loved ones.  The gifter rang the doorbell and ran away.  If the recipient of the gift caught the giver, a kiss was allowed.
 
May Day Festival was an important celebration in Soap Lake for many years. Our town held beauty pageants, parades and grade school programs with proud parents watching from the side lines.
