Men hold musical instruments and banners and pose in a street for probably a parade in Silverton (San Juan County), Colorado. Men wear chaps, holsters, ties, and cowboy hats. Longhorns are on top of banners that read: "Presented to the Cowboy Band by Otto Mears [?] Silverton" and "Presented [by] Dodge City Cow-Boy Band, Andy J. Snider & Co." Brass instruments include tubas. People are in the street near a brick hardware building, and American flags are in the crowd and on top of buildings. Snow is on the San Juan Mountains.
