Vevay Old Time Music Contest – 1900

The Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana, Old Time Music Contest report appeared in:
Vevay Reveille – 10 May 1900 – Page 1, Column 2

Old Time Music Contest.

The Old Time Music Contest given at the Opera House last Friday evening, under the auspices of Vevay Lodge of Woodmen, and directed by Harry Walters, was a success in every sense that the word implies. As soon as the doors of the house were open the crowd commenced to pour in and the audience was soon one of the largest ever gathered in the hall. Neighbors of the Woodmen in uniform acted as ushers and handled the big crowd successfully. There was a large number of old time musicians entered for the contests and after the audiences had selected I. P. Loring, O. S. Johnson and D. G. Manning, Judges, the fun started. Arkansas Traveler, Fisher’s Hornpipe and other old time tunes, were played in all kinds of keys, in all kinds of time, in all kinds of ways, by all kinds of fiddlers, and the fun waxed fast and furious. Then there was no chance for monotony for between the fiddling contests were interspersed contests on other musical instruments and in dancing, cake walking, etc. Also two very creditable dramatic sketches. As a whole it was one of the most unique entertainments that has been seen in Vevay for many years and the audience showed no hesitation in expressing their approval. The Woodmen netted a neat sum for the lodge treasury. The following are the prizes, which were generously donated by the Vevay business men, and, with a few exceptions, the names of the winners.
