About 60 folks attended the Creston Community Homecoming Sunday, including descendants of Dr. D. S. Stewart, who spent 66 years serving the community.

The event was dedicated to Dr. Stewart.

The community building is full of history, with hundreds of historical photos displayed on the walls, artifacts and replicas of days gone by.
