    Some of the hats say, "ASK ME-ROOST HERE" SOME WEAR RIBBONS ON SHIRTS SAYING " RECEPTION"(excuse caps as many know, my vision is suffering and I want to get those important thinsg right--I had help deciphering of course)
    There are high button shoes on the little girl on the first stair going up, on the left--so 19 10-1914--a divided bck postcard--unsent.

    Why do some of these people have Chicken? Pigeon? feathers on their hats?What is being passed out or sold in and out of the white box on the table?
    What is the littlegfirl, lower left holding?
    Is that some kind of fruit of veggie pictures on "all the same" scarves on everyone neck?
    Looks like they intend to sell the hats that say"Ask Me--Roost Here" on them
    What the heck is going on!

      The hats and shirt ribbons say: HATS, "ASK ME---ROOST HERE"
      SOME WEAR RIBBONS ON SHIRTS SAYING " RECEPTION"
      What is spilling out of the box on the table??
      They all wear identical scarves with Fruit or Veggie Pictures-
      -There are bird feathers on some of the hats on men and women.
      What is th meaning of this?
      Thanks pw-collector, for identifying what he little girl on the left holds... So far you are the only person who can explain anything. Cheers!

      I think they are selling those hats that have fake bird merde on top & says, "ask me if pelicans roost here". Those get popular with tourists, off & on.

      I do see that fiish set up on the table MacDaddrRico---I don't think this photo can ever be explained. I try to put together some reasonable plan they had to show the intent of the group===but
      "no can do". Still, what is in that box, and spilling onto the table--might be a clue. You can enlarge the photo 2 times and maybe the contents of the box will be clear. Imagine going to the expense of making all the hats--some on the table for sale, all rhe matching scarves, the ribbons saying "Reception" etc. Speaking for myself--I believe I would not WANT to be "received" by this group. How about you??

      The box looks like it has party horn/noise makers, that roll out when you blow them, can't think of the name of them...Party Whistle? :^)

      Hi Bill! I think you nailed it! Congrats on the I.D.!! Great--now what does the picture tell us???That has got us all stumped.It is so unrelated cohesively--everything is so random. The big woman with her hands over her ears I am pretty sure is a MAN!
    9. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 7 years ago
      MALE OR FEMALE??? Person with his/or her big hand over ear, right side. Vote--Female? Male?

      I believe it's a woman, and it's probably a fund raiser of some kind, maybe political! I think we're going out on a limb to say there's a cross-dresser there too! LOL :^)
    11. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 7 years ago
      Cross Dresser fits right in with this picture! But how could it get any odder?
    12. blunderbuss2 blunderbuss2, 7 years ago
      How could it get any odder? Haven't you been to Walmart ?!
    13. PostCardCollector PostCardCollector, 7 years ago
      Ha ha..you have a valid point there!!
