Washington County Sheriff's Posse

Title

Washington County Sheriff's Posse

Description

Black and white image of a group of men on horseback. The men wear uniforms and all have their hats raised in one hand. The horses are arranged in a line across an empty field, and all the men are riding Western style saddles. In the center roof the group three men hold the Oregon flag, the United States flag, and a banner stating that this is the Washington County Sheriff's Posse. The Rose Festival in Portland included demonstrations of horsemanship and group riding drills for the first time in 1946, and the Washington County Sheriff's Posse was one of the groups who participated in the show.
