Black and white image of a group of women in swimsuits standing on a scaffolding with 'Keep Off' lettered on two of the supports. All but one of the women wear a one piece swimsuit; the remaining woman wears a two piece swimsuit. High, thin clouds are the only background. Museum records indicate that this was taken in 1953, but do not identify the women or the event, other than a beauty pageant. This image was part of the Herbert McMullen bequest. McMullen was a local photographer who also collected other images of daily life in the area.
