Hastings Blossom Festival, Pukeora Home for Disabled and CHB YFC floats

Object detail

About this object

The slide shows two floats from the 1957 Hastings Blossom Festival parade: Pukeora Home for the Disabled in the foreground, and CHB YFC (Central Hawke's Bay Youth For Christ) to the left. People are milling around the floats at Windsor Park, and a man with his back to the camera pushes a spectator in a wheelchair.
