Description

Teams of young boys compete in a traditional three-legged race around 1907 on Squirrel Island during Fete Week, a late summer festival celebrated by the summer community on the island.

Bound at knee and ankle, three teams strive for the finish line while a fourth team (right rear) tries to regain its footing and get back in the race.
