LAST BAND CONCERT
Local Band Gave Final En-
tertainment Friday Evening
Source of Much Enjoy
ment to People.

The series Of free concerts
which the Eagle River band have
been giving this summer, came
to a close Friday evening.
The first concert was given
May 22d, and since that date
but two concerts have been miss
ed. These concerts have proved
of much enjoyment both to Eagle
River people and the summer
tourists who have recreated here
this year.
When the band was reorganized
this spring it was in a poor con-
dition fuancially-in fact its
treasury had a hole in the bot
tom. Instruments and music
were needed to fit up the band.
AS starter supper was given
for the benefit of the band which
netted them enough to purchase
music. Following this came
dances and few odd jobs which
placed the band upon stable
footing, and at present there is
money in the treasury. The
membership of the band now
numbers eighteen, an increase OF
six members since spring.
When the Villas County News,
in its issue of January 9th, asked
the people to lend ahand toward
the rejuvination of the band and
giving a promise from the organ
ization that they would givereg
ulariy weekly concerts during
the summer, there was much
shaking of heads and a decided
show of pessimistic proclivities.
How we'll this promise was kept
is shown that from May % to
Oct. 16, there were 20 concerts
given out of a possible %.
The band deserves all the cred
it allowable and is to be compli
mented for having held to their
promise and likewise fui nishing
enjoyment for the populace dur
ing the summer months.
