Love Valentine Diners?

"Please help us save this historic gem! This is the original red and white Dairy Mart Valentine Dinner Sandwich Bar that was located in Cherokee, OK. It was later moved to Nescatunga, Oklahoma and renamed the Yum Yum Shack. It was purchased several years ago by The Balmer Fund (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization), Harper, Kansas, to save it from being destroyed. It is now on blocks in Harper, Kansas. It needs a complete restoration.

Specifications: A large ice cream cone crowns the top and is currently stored. The base of the diner is 25 ft. x 10 ft. There is a one foot overhang off of the back and a two foot overhang on each side, bringing the total width to about 14 feet. The front has a 30 in. overhang, coupled with an angled window on front, so the total length is 29 feet six inches. The total height without the "cone" sign (not shown) 10 ft, 4 in. It has had considerable vandalism.

The Balmer Fund would like to restore this diner to usefulness to enhance a complex of five historic buildings the organization owns in downtown Harper, and is in the process of restoring. One building includes the last known fresh oyster parlor in Kansas, now listed on the National Historic Register (I.P.Campbell building).

If you are interested in any aspect of helping saving this historic gem, contact Rosalea Hostetler at Email: wepreserve@balmerfund.org -- or -- 620.896.7566 (evenings)." -- THE BALMER FUND, Preserving the history, art & culture of the prairies for future generations Since 1968 & 1994
