“Tally-ho party!” the Aspen Democrat announced on Jan. 16, 1907.
“A jolly party of about 20 young ladies and young men had a merry sleigh ride last evening. Instead of Christmas presents, Mr. A.P. Tuttle promised the girls in his Sunday school class a sleigh ride. Mr. Tuttle and his class kindly invited Mrs. Craven and her class of boys to join the party. The happy crowd stopped for a time at the Citizen’s hospital where delicious refreshments were served. From the amount of noise made last evening, you can be sure that the evening was a pleasant one for the young folks, too. The party dispersed about 11 o’clock and all voted that Mr. Tuttle was a royal entertainer.”
