Image of a park in Vinton, centered on a man standing at a table, slicing watermelon. At the edge of the table, a little boy stands wearing a shirt that says "Vinton Boy Club". Behind him, there are various adults standing eating watermelon. At the left edge of the image, there is a grill with hotdogs. At its feet, there are two bags of charcoal beside two cans of sodas. Underneath the table is a cooler with "Banks" on the top, and Coca Cola on the sides. On the other side is a smaller cooler with "Frank" on the top, and Pepsi Cola on the side. In the left corner, there is a trashcan filled with glass bottles, soda cans, watermelon rinds, next to another stack of sodas. In the background, there is a long row of picnic tables filled with people underneath awnings. Near the top of the image, a cars drive on the road separating the park from the houses visible in the background. At the very top of the image, more houses are visible, and an airplane flies in the sky. Author signed and dated the bottom center of image, wrote "4th July, Glade Town Vinton".
