Old Home Week seemed to have been popular in that area at that time.
I wonder what events took place? Picnics and parades are shown.
Must be some other things.

Probably some shenanigans and kissing' and stuff, on the order of "Meet Me in St. Louis, Louie," 'a la Judy Garland standards, at the very least.

Old Home Week is still a routine celebration in many towns in PA. Where I lived and still have family it's every 3 years.

Parades, picnics, family reunions, plays and theater shows, every historical display and presentation possible, tours of historical sites and houses, food and fireworks.

That fountain and its setting speak of a lot of community pride and camaraderie, it seems to me.

Those were the days back at the CVNS. I don't recall seeing it last time I was there, but then I was not looking for it either. That school has evolved quite a bit since that photo card.

We used to have a nice fountain like that here in one of our town parks. A very long time ago it got taken down and replaced with a single-tier simple copper ring. It's nice but no comparison in grandeur. Presume the old cast-iron one got taken down for maintenance issues.

I kind of doubt that this was an everyday display -- probably 4th of July or another Old Home Week, or some other event

Men on the street; ladies are upstairs on the balcony....some children out.....

Yes, I agree. But I don't think there is that much decorating today. That display took some time. Today, get it up quick and down quicker.

Today it's get it all up for a holiday twice before the next one; Christmas decorations going up in mid-Oct.
