What a good looking bunch of people. Especially the two men on the left in the back row! You can only really see the top half of his face but the man on the left between the woman and the dude with the glasses is just captivating me. Looks like somebody I know!

I do! The adorable redhead with braids top row fourth from the right is a friend of mine. Her daughter is the child in the front row. Here is a sweet note she posted with the pic: "I was a really lucky kid. All these folks were endlessly patient and loving...[they] were kind and fun "aunts and uncles" who had a really positive impact on my life."

Edit: apparently I don't know my left from my right

Yep, that’s what people looked like in the 70’s. Definitely old school cool!

This picture for some reason makes me so damn happy ☺️ what a time that would be. Also it’s weird to think that the kid in the picture is probably around 50 years old today ❤️

This was taken at an ice cream shop in Miami Manitoba in 75 or 76. (Yup Canada has a Miami as well lol)

Fun fact: according to one of the folks in the photo you could take your own fruit and berries along to the shop, and they would mix them in to the ice cream for you!

I wonder if any of the guys are US citizens who moved up there to avoid the draft. I wouldn’t hold it against them.

Was going to say that I like the hand-written sign about alcohol. If there was alcohol, it would have probably been beer in a stubby brown bottle, maybe with a first-nations village on it, with white rabbits.

These guys totally looked like my summer camp counsellors from 1974! I'll bet there's one dude (most likely the dude with the sunglasses, top row, 4th from left) in that bunch named Keith.

July can be hot, humid and buggy but August is usually the best month of the year! It’s also the month when the crops begin coming off the fields. Nothing better than farm fresh Manitoba produce!

Except for the Captain Canuck shirt, that could be literally anywhere in North America in the 70s! My mom (who lived in Indiana/Kentucky at the time) had a picture with her friends that looked very similar to that…

What stands out to me is that, nowadays, there would be zero little kids in that picture. Among everyone I know who’s about my age, I know exactly one person with kids…
