Description

A girl and two women seated on a metal playground carousel. The girl is biting into a cloud of cotton candy. She had a camera in her free hand. A beer can lays near her sandal-clad feet. Her legs are bare. A creepy caption reads "See me at Saugatuck, Mich. P-1796" This image was featured as History Mystery #60 with the solution: Wicks Park ca 1940 - about where the band shell is today.
