    Fourth of July

    Happy Monday, everyone! In honor of the fourth of November, we have found a festive image from a Fourth of July pageant. The caption informs us that she is the Balaboa Woman’s Club Candidate for Fourth of July Queen.1999.013.001j_0001

    Have you participated in this club? Did you attend any Fourth of July pageants? Can you identify when this image was taken?

    Were pageants a popular way to celebrate Independence Day?
