Eduard Vilde monumendi avamine tema nimelises kolhoosis, 1965
Writer Eduard Vilde was born at Pudivere manor in 1865, and the local collective farm bore his name. For his centenary a monument by sculptor August Vomm and architect Ilmar Bork was unveiled. Valdo Pant recorded the festive day: Vilde's widow Linda Vilde, writer Aadu Hint, a smith and kolkhoz members speak, and writer Rudolf Sirge, given the kolkhoz's literary prize for his novel, donates the money to the farm's fish ponds.

Kirjanik Eduard Vilde sündis 1865. aastal Pudivere mõisas ja kohalik kolhoos kandis tema nime. Tema 100. sünniaastapäevaks avati skulptor August Vommi ja arhitekt Ilmar Borki monument. Valdo Pant jäädvustas pidupäeva: sõna võtavad Vilde lesk Linda Vilde, kirjanik Aadu Hint, sepp ja kolhoosnikud ning kirjanik Rudolf Sirge, kes sai kolhoosi kirjanduspreemia oma romaani eest, kingib raha kolhoosi kalamajanduse arendamiseks.
