Today's time machine takes you back to the way Woodmont Day used to be celebrated. Unlike today, Woodmont Day wasn't held at Doolittle Park, but rather at the Anchor Beach on Long Island Sound. Note the Signal Rock at the left, traditionally flying the American flag just as it does to this day. Some party goers bring wooden chairs and umbrellas. Numerous boats filled with people float around to observe the festivities. Looks like all those cars created quite a traffic jam on Beach Avenue!

If you're familiar with cars from the 1920s, please leave a comment as to what brands are visible in this view from 1924. I realize that some could be makes which have long disappeared.

Note the "Slow Deaf Child" sign. Her name was Charlene, a neighbor of ours and she was really giggly. She could hear somewhat, but not very well. My parents asked the City of Milford to place the sign and they complied. In the background, you can see a 1970s car parked and across Merwin Avenue, the cedar wood fence of the Surf Club which existed from 1967 through closure in 1982.

Shot by yours truly with a Kodak X15 using a 126 cartridge of Kodak Verichrome Pan film.
