Moodie's Crossing, also called the Goodwin Ferry.
The bridge over the Smoky River was built in 1949-1950 and was a major advancement to transportation to the south. Before the bridge, a ferry was used in the summer and an ice bridge in the winter but there were seasons in between when neither could be used. This shows the bridge as viewed from the ferry approach.
The parade includes decorated trucks as floats, some in a line beside the bridge and some proceeding over the bridge, including a team of horses. A crowd of people line the banks. One truck is reported to be carrying the first spinning wheel brought into the area.
