Scope and content
The Puyallup Fair's showpiece carousel was built in 1911. It was first brought to the fair by Earl Douglas in 1923, and was made a regular part of the amusement zone in 1935. Robert Bollinger donated the carousel to the Puyallup Fair in 1985 when he retired. This photograph of two unidentified girls was taken on Wednesday September 20, 1939. It was Tacoma day at the fair, and almost 47,000 people went to the fair on that day.
