Shot on 8mm film in 1959, this vintage home movie captures a large outdoor gathering at a football field in South Dakota. Rows of people, mostly women in light-colored dresses and men in suits, stand in organized lines on the grass. A stage with a table is set up, and spectators sit in bleachers under a bright, sunny sky. The footage shows a slow pan across the scene, capturing the formal, communal atmosphere of a mid-century community event, with classic 1950s fashion and a nostalgic, grainy film quality.
