Chautauqua Park--I was wondering if anyone has pictures of Chautauqua Park.  I have lake pictures but am especially interested in a pavillion/stage that was still standing in the 60's, when I was growing up.  I have several articles about the park in it's hayday in the 1800's.  My grandmother lived lots of years in CrystalSprings & we used to visit that park alot.  She is gone now & I still feel I have ties to the area due to our past time spent there.  It would mean so much if someone would email me with picutres or could direct me to where I could find them.  Speedymagnolia2@aol.com     ^04-04
