Arend's Venice Band played for the grand opening in 1905, so this was probably the same year. September 17 did not fall on a Sunday again until 1911, so this concert must have occurred in 1905.
POSTCARD TABLE
Here we are on the boardwalk, and this is the table where Virtual Venice is selling postcards to support itself. The pictures on this page are the exact postcards that are for sale, no retouching or any of that. Some are not perfect, but Virtual Venice needs support anyway, so what's a little ink smudge between friends?
S&H remains $2 no matter how many postcards you buy!
email the Webslave, please.
