Grandpa Bill Cooper's Tally-Ho!!

Another story from Grandpa Cooper

Tally-Ho parties were popular. They cost about $2 for 2 hours, as I remember but then I didn't do the paying so I could be wrong. It was a horse drawn sleigh with some straw on it. It didn't go beyond a trot so you could jump off and back on - or hang on and wear out your mocassins dragging behind or stand on the runners and hold onto the sleigh.

The sleigh was large flat thing. Took 2 horses to pull it easily hold about 20 people was about 4 ft high.
