Increased interest by holidaymakers towards Võsu brought about a quickening of cultural life at the end of the nineteenth century – plays were put on, and evening parties and concerts were held. Favourite entertainment venues included the Resort Hall (‘Kuursaal’ in Estonian), a library, a football pitch, volleyball and lawn tennis courts, as well as lawn bowls. Holidaymakers and village youths alike gathered in the woods beyond Kingo Farm, near the Rakvere-Võsu highway. The outdoor bowling alley that was established by Gustav Säesk was the first of its kind in Estonia and it also served as the venue for the Võsu bowling championships. The right to bowl in Säesk’s alley cost fifty cents an hour during the era of the first Estonian republic. Children had the entrepreneurial opportunity to earn ten cents an hour for serving as ball boys. Later, the bowling alley was relocated to Mere street (‘sea’ in Estonian), walls were erected to surround it, and a bowling hall was born. The hall was used for bowling until 2002, after which year a tavern operated in the building until 2006 and this included a bowling alley. Famous Estonian writer Eduard Vilde, who holidayed in Võsu, was an avid bowler. He apparently once said: ‘Once the rumble of the bowling balls and the laughter of young people sound in my room, I cannot stay at home, although I have been forbidden to go out when dew covers the ground’.
