As mentioned in our previous episode, one of the largest and most notable of events ever held at Ownbey Lake occurred on July 4, 1924.

And, we dare say, most of the USA was also tricked in the 1920s by the resurgence of the organization known as the Ku Klux Klan into believing they had changed from their old ways of the post-Civil War era.
