Home Movie : Ties, Games, and Corn on the Cob: The 1949 Supervisors Picnic (silent)

This 1949 home movie captures a lively day at the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp., Homestead District Works Supervisors Picnic held at the Lithuanian Country Club and South Park. The footage showcases a group of male supervisors enjoying classic recreational activities such as baseball, horseshoes, and a hearty outdoor feast. Amusingly formal, the men appear determined to have fun while staying sharply dressed in ties and slacks. The cameraman adds a humorous flair, clandestinely filming moments of men entering and exiting a latrine. The day concludes with scenes at a makeshift carnival. Overall, the film offers a nostalgic glimpse into mid-20th century workplace camaraderie and leisure time.

Suggested Title: “Ties, Games, and Corn on the Cob: The 1949 Supervisors Picnic”
