Girls' potato race, 1927

Negative no.A1520. August 1927. Image depicts a group of about eight girls engaged in a potato race. There are some potatoes visible on the ground; the idea is probably to get all your potatoes into your box (a row of boxes is seen on the ground on the right). Spectators watch in the background; some men standing on right may be officials of some sort. Most likely as 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.
