In this lively account by Edgarten the Old Settlers gathering in Odon is described with wit and local color. The piece notes visiting groups, fashion, the crowd size, and the social rhythm from the parade of ten cent sport to the annual premiums and speeches. It recalls the history of the Old Settlers association, its 1885 origin, and key figures like Uncle Harvey Evans who shaped the events for years. It ends with a call for a complete roll of attendees and a snapshot of the community mood.
