We are assuming that they probably made the trip because of Bing Crosby, but we are not sure. In the background of my pictures it is clear that they were not standing near where your relative was, mine seem more out of town as their are less buildings. It has been a long journey trying to date and identify their family pictures. They have both passed and before the pictures get split up between family members I want to ensure that all of our family members have digital copies of all the pictures. I am probably about 75% done. It has been very fun especially when I find my answers from posts like this one!!! So, again I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this series of photographs easy for me!!!

I am currently going through my grandparents unmarked photo's and came across pictures of a parade. Because of the advertisements on some of the floats I believed the parade to be in Winchester, VA. I googled images of "Southern Dairies Winchester, VA" and low and behold a picture pops up of the exact same float I googled!!! I am so excited that I can now positively label the photos!!!!
