Group of people decorating the Garden Queen float for a Fourth of July parade near a large garage. The float reads "Greendale-The Garden City," "Pop. 2800" and "Watch Us Grow." The float is a car or truck hidden by a picket fence decorated with leaves and flowers, and there is a chair under an arbor at the rear of the float with a "Garden Queen" sign.
