Photograph of five men and women leading the group from St. Mary of Ostrabrama Polish Roman Catholic Church in the parade held for the celebration of South River's 250th anniversary in 1970. From left to right: Lorraine Korygoski Gerenza, President of the PTA; Stanley Kizlinski; and Rev. Michael Kseniak, Pastor of St. Mary's. The man and woman at the right are unidentified.
The Holy Name Society of St. Mary's Church is next in the parade line behind the officials. A large banner identifies the group.
The view is of lower Main Street looking toward the river with a large crowd lining the sidewalk. The store at the right has a large sign reading "Save! Buy milk in Gal.-1/2 Gal." Fee Paint & Wallpaper Co., advertising Dutch Boy and Glidden paints, is also visible. Further down the street are signs for Liquors Wines, Becker's New Market, and Bogdan's Florsheim Shoes. The Grand Hotel, at the corner of Main Street and Ferry Street can be seen in the distance.
Black and white photograph measures 5" x 7" and is in fair condition with the exception of the lower left corner, a portion of which is missing due to water damage.Photograph Details
