Title
1910s Ford Model T in the Gay Nineties parade
Description
A black and white photograph taken by Allan J. de Lay featuring a 1910s Ford Model T at the Gay Nineties parade in the early 1960s. Forest Grove resident David McCready is pictured sitting in the Model T. Additionally, "Allan J. de Lay Professional Photographer -- Feb 25 1961" 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."
