Ellendale Days starts Thursday
By JIM LUTGENS
Editor/Publisher
Roger Swearingen was born and raised in Ellendale and, except for a stint in the U.S. Air Force in the 1960s, has lived there all his life.
For upwards of 20 years, Swearingen faithfully served Ellendale as the town’s maintenance man.
Since 2012, he’s been known as Mayor Swearingen.
On Saturday, he’ll assume another role — grand marshal of the 2014 Ellendale Days Parade.
“It’s quite an honor,” said Swearingen. “I didn’t expect it.”
