1906 Turner Fair - An “affair” to Remember!“Alt Heidelberg” - A Blaze of Glory.....
Read all about this 5 day event which took place at Davenport’s Central Turner Hall. Amuse yourself with the folksy writing style of the authors who recorded the daily events of the “Turner Fair” for the Davenport Democrat. Imagine yourself strolling through the streets of old Heidelberg, faithfully recreated in the Grand Hall. See the sights of the “Monte Carlo”. Hear the laughter from the “Pretzel Alley Rathskeller” and smell the rarities coming from the “Zum Bauernstübl”. Relive the many stunts performed on the stage of the “Can’t Lose Theater”. Look back upon the time when people came together for the common good of their community. The 1906 Turner Fair is an event to be experienced by all!This fantastic little collectors book is yours free when you make a supporting donation to the Schuetzen Park.
