This item is the first time I have noticed any mention of Chautauqua in the area. This was obviously a traveling group, who were booked to spend four days in Spirit River, Sexsmith, Grande Prairie, Wembley, Hythe, and Pouce Coupe. While the variety of entertainment from outside would have been very appealing to the locals, people here were no strangers to fine music and artistic performances, judging by the items consistently appearing in the papers about events in communities throughout the area.
