Jasper County Democrat, Volume 19, Number 70, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 November 1916 — AN OLD FIDDLERS’ CONTEST [ARTICLE]

AN OLD FIDDLERS’ CONTEST

The members of the Moose lodge are counting the days until Thanksgiving, not only for the turkey dinner at home, but also the Old Fiddlers’ contest at the Moose club rooms at 8 o’clock p. m. This will be a very unique entertainment as it is the first of its kind to be held in Rensselaer for many years. Six or seven old-time fiddlers have sent in their names to the secretary stating that they would be sure to be there, with their fiddles, to play their pld-time melodies, and it is expected that there will he many more at that time. There are to be three prizes given and our old friend, “George Washington Chester P. Lewis, ‘I gad, sir,’ ” ig expecting to be there and declares that he will carry off the first prize. Each Moose is permitted to bring as r. visitor some gentleman friend, and a large crowd is expected.
