Watermelon Day Fest Sparks Akron crowds and feats
Spink Kapfer and Fideter led a big Watermelon Day in Akron. After the baseball game, stands opened for ice cold slices, with separate entrances for women and men. Rushed crowds caused jams but few injuries. Melon cutters worked hard, many melons discarded for over ripeness yet most were fine eating. The day featured foot races, a tug of war, vaudeville, and a bustling carnival on Reed Street with bands, dancing, and a large evening crowd estimated 8 000 to 10 000. Notables and visitors from several states attended including Sioux City officials and local dignitaries.
