1936

Image is of a canned salmon display at the first Matanuska Valley Fair at Palmer in fall of 1936. An array of cans of salmon on the table support a sign: "Matanuska Valley's First ANNUAL FAIR and ALASKA'S 58th NEW SALMON PACK FESTIVAL". Hanging on the wall above is a picture of a leaping salmon. Striped curtains are at both upper corners of the display and two ads for the salmon festival are tacked to the front of the table.
