A big activity in the summer was the Moonlight River Excursion, taking off from Jackson Street.  Each excursion advertised in the Northwestern Bulletin took place on the Steamer Red Wing and Barge Manitou.  I count 14 of these in the summer of 1922, sponsored by groups like the Unity Club, the Twin Cities Pleasure Club “Depot Red Caps,” the Kingston Girls of Minneapolis, and the Railroad & Working Men’s Association.  I would guess these were also fundraisers.  The band pictured below only has about half a dozen men, but Moore’s band had up to 15 members at some points.
