Scope and content
Golden Jubilee Parade on July 22, 1939, celebrating Washington's fifty years of statehood. Evergreen boughs cover a wagon pulled by a Metropolitan Park District truck in this tribute to the jewel of Tacoma's park system, Pt. Defiance Park. In front of the standing map of the park on the wagon is something one would hope to never run into in the park- a bear. Actually bears were housed at the Pt. Defiance zoo and two had escaped the previous year. One of them actually roamed the North End for several weeks.
