A BIG TIME IN THE OLD TOWN
A Jubilee Day in August
[People’s Press, 26 March 1912]
The officers and members of the Welland band received a communication a few days ago from one of the city bands of the State of Pennsylvania, stating it was the intention of the members of that band to make a tour of the states this summer, and they had also decided on visiting a few of the leading places in Canada, and had chosen Welland as one. A meeting of the local band will be held this week, when the visitors will be communicated with and will be invited to be the guests of the Welland band and citizens in general.
Their letter states they would like to come sometime about the latter part of August. It has been suggested that the fire company be asked to join with the band in giving a day of amusement in honor of the visitors to wind up with grand tattoo, fireworks and illumination in the evening with a number of bands and fire companies taking part. Should the Pennsylvania band decide to favor our town with a visit there will be “somethin’ doin’,” and the boys know how to do it. Further particulars later.
