This file consists of previously labeled file "Box 3 File 2."
Originally labeled "Box 3 File 2" was accompanied by a typed and printed piece of paper that reads, "(Still in original packaging. Need to be re-housed in archivaly / safe sleeves) / "Festivities" (title given by the creator) / Includes bike races; summer crowds in village for various / festivals; bands on the Mountain (not sure if Whistler or / Blackcomb); Poshe show in Village; Acrobatic (aerials and / ballet ski) display; fireworks."

These accompanying pieces of paper are included in the newly organized file as to identify original context and order.
