Title
Two men on a horse-drawn carriage at the Gay Nineties parade
Description
A black and white photograph featuring two men driving a horse-drawn carriage at the Gay Nineties parade in downtown Forest Grove. The photograph was likely taken on Pacific Avenue by Allan J. de Lay during the early 1960s.
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."
