Our First Master Mason Degree

This is a recap of the first Master Mason Degree done by Eveleth Lodge in decades. All the costumes are new and were purchased just weeks earlier.

Master Tilton declared the Lodge at labor for the second section where he portrayed our Most Excellent King Solomon, Steve Turner as Hiram, King of Tyre, and Kerry Roen as Grand Secretary. The Fellowcrafts were portrayed by Dwight Day, Nick Floistad, and Daryl Lawrence. The first, second and third ruffians were portrayed by Floyd Nelson, Rick Newton, and Jon McDougall respectively.
