Description Colorized photo from 1941, July 4thOriginal title: Parade. Fourth of JulyPhotographer: Russel LeeLocation: 100 A St W., Vale, OregonThis is Vale, Oregon, and this is their annual 4th of July parade, which they have been doing for over a 100 years. They started the tradition in 1906, though the event was founded two years earlier. After the flag ladened was over, evetyone would celebrate playing games, races, they would play ball, listen to bands, watch fireworks, dance, and then later on the rodeo. During WW2, 1943, they mostly held races and games and of course the greased-pig scramble. Prices often included defense stamps.In 1945, there was no celebration, businesses were closed, the post office opened for only an hour, and people went to other towns instead, most of the events were dropped. But in 1946 they brought back the rodeo, they also had saddle horse races, relays and novelty races. In 1957 they had issues with the grounds for the rodeo. There was a flood earlier in the year and the grounds were ruined, they had to rebuild all of it. In any case, history progressed and they still hold the parade every year. As you can see here they really love the flag. And best of all, most of these buildings still exist, the building on the right is a historic landmark and still called the Vale drug store.
Mike Savad, Westfield, NJ Member Since August 2009 Artist Statement My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind creations. Photo realistic is what people think of first. There are many themes, flowers, porches, and local Suburban Scenes, some city, some urban. I also have many Job inspired images that cover a quite a range. If your looking for a gift for your Pharmacist, Doctor, Dentist, Lawyer, Barber, Gardner, Fireman etc, there should be something there for you. These will look very nice hanging on your wall, or in a waiting room, even a hotel room. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance.
