*MYSTERY PHOTO MONDAY*
We need your help!
We are trying something new…
Each week our volunteers spend hours identifying and recording the thousands of photos we have in our collection, but sometimes we just don’t know who, where or what or these photos are of! That’s where you come in!
Help preserve Marin History by sharing your thoughts. Can you identify these mystery photographs from our collection? We can’t wait to hear your thoughts… 
* Today’s photo is of a majorette marching down the middle of a street and posing with her baton. She poses in front of a crowd who are standing and sitting on the sidewalk in front of MODEL MARKET “A COMPLETE FOOD STORE”.
