Wade, Cope Collection

July 4, 1936

People are gathering at the corner of what is now Alaska Street and Evergreen Ave. in Palmer during the 1936 Fourth-of-July celebration. Some people are walking on the gravel streets, a decorated car is on Alaska Street in front of the buildings. Many of the people appear to be watching some activity in a booth with a sign advertising "KING DODO" at the north end of the building along Evergreen Ave. A water tower structure is evident behind the corner building.
