Thirty years ago Escalon was celebrating its Homecoming festivities, community events were being planned and hosted and there were also some fire prevention activities. Each month, we offer a look back at a past issue; here are some of the news items, photos and advertisements found in the pages of The Escalon Times from Oct. 11, 1989.

Readers are reminded that these items are from an issue originally published 30 years ago; and are meant only to serve as a source of nostalgic entertainment.
