Moody County Farm Bureau will conduct its annual picnic June 6th, at the Chester Park, Mgr. HURT having donated the use of the grounds to them. The writer is satisfied that the farmers will find the park an ideal picnic and convention ground, and Mr. HURT ready to care for all of their needs in store supplies, boats, baits, etc.
Mgr. HURT of Chester Park has been down at different times asking us to come down for a visit and inspect this well known resort. Thursday evening we drove down and found the park to be all we were told about it. The beach is clean, houses and store fresly painted; boats and supplies reasonable, and an ideal arrangement of tables and seats for those desiring to picnic there. We returned with a fine mess of large croppies.
One of the largest crowds ever gathered at Wentworth Park on any one day enjoyed the quiet and solitude of this restful lake resort Sunday afternoon and evening. Tourists were present from neighboring states as well as from cities and towns of distance in this state. Wentworth Park boosts (sic) of an ideal beach and good fishing. But the quiet and absence of artifical amusement is the greatest drawing card, people coming for hundreds of miles to spend a day or week in absolute quiet.
