Photo of the Week: Dolls On Parade O’Neil Park, July 1939

September 24th, 2015

a group photo of over 20 children, one dog, and many strollers with dolls in it.

The once-annual O’Neil Park doll parade on Bloomington’s west side prepares to get underway, Friday, July 28, 1936. The parade was led by “Pal,” a rather uncooperative canine (on the right) who delayed the procession until he could be brought into line.
