A streetcar number 7768 passes between the parade and the camera. A truck rigged up as a float carries several young people. It is followed by a tractor pulling a pavilion float carrying three young women. Signage on the float indicates it represents the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF). IOOF slogans seen on side of float include "Visit the sick. Heal the Sick. Bury the dead. Educate the Orphan." Dates "1819 to 1919" are seen, marking the fraternity's centennial (100th) year. Banner atop float is difficult to read but appears to list lodge numbers 38 and 337 and "Rebekah" and "WA". (Location possibly Spokane Washington?) Other decorated vehicles follow. One is a tractor driven by a woman, who is followed by two soldiers in uniform driving a roadster without a rear body. A man and woman dressed as George and Martha Washington walk along the parade route. They are followed by several cars.
