Celebration set to remember Harold Schafer

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Legendary North Dakota entrepreneur Harold Schafer is being remembered a few days before what would have been his 100th birthday.

Schafer founded the Gold Seal Co., launched the popular Mr. Bubble children's bubble bath and is credited with developing Medora into a tourist attraction. He was the father of former North Dakota governor and U.S. agriculture secretary Ed Schafer.

Harold Schafer died in 2001. He would have turned 100 next Wednesday. Entertainers are holding performances Friday night at the Belle Mehus (bell MAY’-hews) Auditorium in Bismarck in his honor.

Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation President Randy Hatzenbuhler (HAT’-zehn-byoo-lur) tells The Bismarck Tribune that the idea is to bring people together for music and laughter.
