Wheelbarrow race, 1921

Negative no.A959. August 10 [August 13?], 1921. Image depicts two teams of men participating in a wheelbarrow race, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Two teams of two men each are in the race. One man in each team takes the position of the "wheelbarrow" by using his hands as the front "wheel" while the other man holds his legs as if they were the wheelbarrow "handles." A crowd of spectators lines the side of the course on the left. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer, were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment. 5 x 7 in.
