Description
Photograph of a barbeque at Plummer Park, later called County Park, ca.1923. The many people in this picture sit on benches at long tables under a shelter made of wood and covered with palm fronds or reeds. There are two flags hanging from the rafters--one American and one Mexican. Several of the tables are empty, but those that have people sitting at them are covered with plates and cups.

Lady opposite is Mrs. Chamberlain with her sister-in-law beside her".
