Gift of: Delee Marshall, 2001

Polaroid showing an outdoor scene at Plaza Park in downtown Ventura. In the center of the image woman wearing a "cowboy" hat and spotted skirt is weaving a basket. Beside her is a table of baskets and weaving supplies, including what appears to be a Chumash fishing basket. Another person faces away from the camera and appears to be talking with the woman. A crowd is visible in the background.

Museum records indicate that the event shown is the Bicentennial celebration of the founding of San Buenaventura Mission.
