EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Jack Delano in 1941 at the Vermont State Fair in Rutland, offers a nostalgic glimpse into American leisure and entertainment during the mid-20th century. The image showcases a group of young boys engrossed in a game at one of the fair's attractions - the High Striker. With their eyes fixed on the wooden mallet held high above their heads, anticipation fills the air as they eagerly await their turn to test their strength and ring the bell. Delano's use of color brings this scene to life, capturing not only the vibrant hues of amusement park rides but also highlighting the joyous expressions on these children's faces. Their excitement is palpable as they immerse themselves in this classic pastime amidst a backdrop of rural America. As part of his work for both Farm Security Administration (FSA) and Office of War Information (OWI), Delano documented various aspects of American life during this transformative era. This particular photograph serves as an enduring reminder of simpler times when community fairs provided an escape from everyday hardships. Preserved within Heritage Images' collection, this still image transports viewers back to Rutland County, Vermont - a place where tradition meets modernity and where people from all walks of life come together to celebrate unity through shared experiences.
