Old timey July 4th

I 'borrowed' this old time photo of a 4th of July picnic in 1945 from the Des Moines Register. As a child I attended many of these affairs with my parents as I am sure many of you did as well. There would be a big roaster full of fried chicken, prepared at home by mom. Actually all the food had been prepared at home and then transported to the picnic site.
