Charlie Spivak, Hoagy Carmichael, Ted Weems,' Woodie Herman and many others. During an evening in July 1941, a crowd — reportedly from 7.000 to 10,000 — enjoyed the dance music of Glenn Miller and vocals of Bob Eberly. Others say Cab Calloway drew even larger crowds. People came from all over the Midwest to enjoy the various popular spots around Lake Wawasee. Many folks would anchor their boats offshore and listen to the music — swinging and swaying with the roll of the waves. When the nationally-known and touring big bands were not playing the Waco (Waco is an abbreviation for Wawasee Amusement Co ), Ross Franklin directed the “house orchestra,” featuring many outstanding Midwestern musicians. Following its popularity as a seasonal dance pavilion, the Waco served as a roller skating

rink, hosted wrestling matches, and even briefly housed a gambling casino. The building was demolished in October 1957 to make way for a prospective hotel development. The hotel project never materialized, and several luxurious lake homes now occupy the site. —
