MANY ATTEND
HOMECOMING
HUNDREDS OF LOCAL PEOPLE ATTEND CELEBRATION AT KEWASKUM SUNDAY

  The biggest crown in the history of Kewaskum gathered last Sunday when the annual homecoming celebration took place. It is estimated that nearly 6,000 people attended the homecomers' picnic in the North side park during the afternoon, while many remained downtown, where attractions in the form of amusing concessions were lined up along the streets.
   The automobile parade in the morning was one of the big attractions. The prize for the best decorated car was awarded to Roebken Bros. of Cedarburg first and Elmo Rosenheimer second.
   The celebration closed with the homecomers' dance in which nearly 1,500 people participated.
   Approximately 600 people from here attended the celebration. Over 200 tickets to Kewaskum were sold at the Northwestern depot Saturday and Sunday and hundreds of residents from this vicinity drove in autos and carriages to the celebration, in fact we were so well represented at the picnic that a young man from Kewaskum remarked: "Campbellsport has more of her people at our picnic, than we have of our own." This was a fact, but probably excuseable for many Kewaskum people were compelled to remain at their homes and business places to entertain or work for the entertainment of their many guests. However, we hope that Kewaskum folks will remember our liberal patronage and that we apprecite reciprocation.
