From this item, LOI has digitized a textual record.

This image is from a negative film. The image shows two people wearing a festival clothing called happi and pulling a rickshaw with people in them. On the left is a young child pulling a smaller variation of a rickshaw that has another child sitting in it. On the right is an adult man pulling a normal rickshaw with a woman sitting in it. Behind these two is a float with the words "NATSU MATSURI/GREENWOOD COMMUNITY/ASSOC." on it. There are people standing to the side watching the festivities.
