Title
Cornelius Junior High School's Gay Nineties parade float
Description
A black and white photograph by Allan J. de Lay featuring Cornelius Junior High School's Gay Nineties parade float in 1960. The photograph was taken in front of the historic Forest Theater on Pacific Avenue.
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."
