Gay Nineties "Arrest" of Paul de Lay by Officer VanderZanden
Title
Gay Nineties "Arrest" of Paul de Lay by Officer VanderZanden
Description
A black and white photograph by Allan J. de Lay taken during the Gay Nineties festival in Forest Grove, Oregon, in the mid-1960s. A handwritten inscription on the back reads "Police Officer Wayne VanderZanden 'Shakes Down' Paul DeLay." Additionally, “Allan J. de Lay Professional Photographer -- Feb. 24 196[6/8]” is stamped on the back of the print.
This is one photograph from a collection on the Gay Nineties festival and the the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest in Forest Grove, Oregon. The festival centered around a theme of nostalgia for the 1890s decade. The event, which ran from 1947 through the 1990s, featured a parade downtown, residents dressing up in 1890s-themed costumes for the celebrations, local businesses decorating their window displays, and the crown jewel of the event, the Original All-Northwest Barbershop Ballad Contest, which earned Forest Grove the nickname "Ballad Town U.S.A."
