Attendees are scattered around resting in the shade from the trees sitting on blankets on the ground and at picnic tables. Some of the people on the ground are sitting under makeshift tents. While a few people are seen walking around, there seems to be a small crowd forming around a white horse The trees and their shade are set on the edge of the park leaving the center cast in sunlight where a band is playing in the bandstand.
