Merrimack, New Hampshire

Doll carriage parade/contest, Merrimack (Reeds Ferry), New Hampshire c1959. That is actually me in center of photo with white skirt and green & yellow carriage. My Mom decorated the carriage...and me. I won 1st place, by the way. My Dad is sitting in the green Buick, and my Aunt is standing next to the car. This is taken in center of town and white building on right was 1 or 2 room schoolhouse where I went to 1st grade. I love the whole of this picture...so 1950's Americana. Notice the young girl in black face just in front of me. Certainly times have changed....some for the better and some not so much.
