Yea I'm wondering if it became a yearly event.
& for how long.

It said When it was advertised the Last Season .....
People thought Fake or a Joke, so it started 1914.
Sand can sure grab things up & swallow them.

This is one site I would hit with a wide coil. A PI machine as well I would dig everything that “whistled Dixie”

And yet, the information I see says there is still a park there. Right where Prison Hill meets Levee, at 1st street. Shows a nice sized park still exists.

Is this where you thought it was?
