Ocean Wave, Oshawa-on-the-Lake

“It [Ocean Wave] could be dangerous. People would come to dance at the Barney’s Pavilion [Barnhart’s] and would often sit on the Ocean Wave. The girls would sit there while the guys got it going. Often you would hear a yelp when someone got their legs caught. Often people would sit with their legs inside the circle; this is when their legs were caught. To properly sit on the Ocean Wave you had to sit with your legs on the outside.”
