Spoon and potato race, 1925

Negative no.A1224. August 1925. Image shows three women approaching the finish line of the race where containers are in place for the potatoes to be placed. The idea apparently is to fill the container with potatoes. Note a number of potatoes on the ground. Several judges watch from the sideline, while another judge stands close to finish line. Spectators line the course in the background; a house can be seen in the background as well. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. 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. See Collection 6612 P, Box 6, Folder 5, Item 1224 for print of this negative.
