Scope and content
Narrows Bridge - McChord Field Celebration, July, 1940. Luncheon at home of Mrs. Elizabeth H. Walton featuring a centerpiece of the bridge made out of food. Tacoma was very proud of the new Narrows Bridge and replicas of the bridge could be seen everywhere in town. The massive parade on July 1, 1940, featured displays of the bridge on nearly every float and as the luncheon at Mrs. Walton's proved, a beautiful replica of the bridge could even be made with food.
