PHOTO OF THE DAY: OLD-TIME MUSIC

This reprint of a photo taken at the Turner County Fair in 1930 showing the East Freeman Band was published on the front page of the Freeman Courier 50 years ago this week. It was part of an announcement that the band would be convening once again for what would be one of the final concerts in its storied history. The entire announcement — and a brief history — is included with Reflections in the June 27 edition of The Courier.
