The historical pageant, La Fiesta de la Rancho San Jose, at the Los Angeles County Fair celebrated the one hundredth anniversary of the first Spanish settlers, Don Ygnacio Palomares and Don Arcardo Vejar to the Pomona Valley.
Captain William Banning, in white, drives a stagecoach from his father Phineas Banning's line established over eighty years ago in San Pedro. The side of the stagecoach reads, "Overland Stage Coach Club." Riding alongside Banning are possible family members and friends.
Different photographs of the parade taken on the same occasion appear with the article, “County Fair Fiesta Recalls Settling of Pomona Valley,” Los Angeles Times, 21 Sept. 1936: 1, 7, 20.
