Scope and content
Golden Jubilee Parade on July 22, 1939, celebrating Washington's fifty years of statehood. The "Swiss Colony" entered this float in the parade. Its floral decorations include replicas of the United States and the Swiss flag on the front. A model of the Alps takes up most of the float. Two accordion players and several people in native costumes populate the float. It is accompanied by four girls in Swiss outfits walking beside the float. The crowd along the parade route, several people deep, can be seen in the background. The front row sits in chairs, while those in back stand or perch on the buildings for a better view.
