Scope and content
On July 30, 1960, three men were captured in the act of preparing salmon filets for the thousands of hungry customers at the eighth Indian-style Browns Point Salmon Bake. A young boy in the background assisted them by carrying two skewers full of fish. The cookout featured 6000 lbs. of fresh silver salmon baked over alder fires. Corn on the cob, potatoes and rolls accompanied the feast. Money raised with the salmon bake went toward paying for the Browns Point Community Club building and equipment. The feast took place over two days and drew 10,000 hungry participants. (TNT 7-24-60, D-1, D-7, 7-29-60, p. 1, 8-1-60, p. 18)
