Additional Information
Taken on March 8, 1940, by the esteemed Harris and Ewing studio in Washington, D.C., this photograph documents the Oregon Winter Sports Carnival Good Will Tour's visit to the White House. The delegation, including Carnival Queen Claire Erickson and her court of princesses, posed alongside Presidential Secretary Brigadier General Edwin M. Watson.
During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Oregon aggressively promoted its burgeoning winter sports industry through nationwide good will tours designed to attract tourism and investment. These campaigns showcased the state's spectacular mountain landscapes and growing reputation as a premier destination for skiing and winter recreation in the American West.
The Oregon Winter Sports Carnival drew national attention to Mt. Hood and surrounding Cascade Range resorts during an era when organized winter recreation was rapidly gaining popularity across the country. Such promotional efforts helped establish Oregon's identity as an outdoor adventure destination, contributing to infrastructure development that would shape the region's tourism economy for decades.
This engaging photograph provides a fascinating window into Oregon's ambitious promotional heritage and the intersection of state tourism, politics, and national culture. An outstanding addition to any collection, it preserves a unique piece of American recreational and diplomatic history from the eve of the Second World War.
