Menasha Centennial



This is a rare color photo of the Menasha Centennial celebration in 1953.  It looks as if a speech, or awards presentation has just broken up.  Folks are heading for their cars and homes, moving north on Milwaukee Street as the participants on the stage make their way to the street. 

 July 6, 1953 Oshkosh Northwestern

A  victim of bad timing, Menasha's centennial celebration happened to coincide with Oshkosh's, so guess who got short shrift in the publicity department, at least with the Oshkosh media?
