Scope and content
On Sunday, August 17, 1941, National Bank of Washington employees traded in their business suits for more casual wear at the annual company picnic held at Benbow Lakes Resort in Kapowsin. One of the big events of the day was a three legged race; paired up boy-girl and fastened together at the leg, the groups made their way across the grass. Benbow Resort was located 20 miles from Tacoma on Tanwax Lake. The resort offered fishing, boating, swimming, dancing, tennis, basketball, horses and picnic facilities for 3,000.
