Keep reading Tracing the history of the Waseca Prince Popcorn Wagon: A Timeline, with memories People who lived in or grew up in Waseca from the early 1910s through 1971 are certain to remember the popcorn wagon that was parked uptown either alongside Didra's Drug Store (the early years) or alongside the Rendezvous Cafe (the later years). Unfortunately, the popcorn wagon was lost to Waseca.

I'd like to have your memories of the popcorn wagon, and your photos. This is a work in progress. . . .
