Children's Excursion to Bob-Lo

Description:

Program for the Children's Excursion to Bob-Lo held by the Friendship Lodge No. 417 of the Free and Accepted Masons on Sunday, June 24, 1922. A number of events are described for children and adults, including standard foot races; novelty races, like the egg race, balloon race, peanut race, necktie race, fat men's race, and cracker race; a popularity contest; and a baseball game. Prizes are listed for each, often including a box of Sanders chocolate for third place. The back page of the brochure promotes a moonlight cruise on Wednesday, July 12 aboard the STE. CLAIRE with Fizel's Orchestra, and an excursion to Put-in-Bay aboard the PUT-IN-BAY on Wednesday, August 2, 1922. The program doubles as a raffle ticket, and the number 1000 is printed on the cover above a note about the raffle.
