Participants in girls' potato race, 1927

Negative no.A1523. August 1927. Image shows several girls engaged in a potato race, the idea presumably to be the first to fill your box (seen on the right) with potatoes. The girl on the far left is either way ahead of the rest of the group or way behind. Spectators in background; some men standing on right, probably officials of some sort. 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.
