## Description

This accession preserves a newspaper photograph documenting a performance associated
with WMRN during the dedication of Roosevelt Park in Marion, Ohio. The image depicts
Dick West at the microphone along with other performers during the public ceremony.

The photograph survives as a newspaper clipping and was preserved within a family
scrapbook before being scanned and shared with the WMRN Radio History Archive. Although
the newspaper publication date is later, contextual evidence from the caption and
surrounding materials suggests the photograph documents a performance dating to 
approximately 1940.

The clipping provides visual evidence of WMRN’s early involvement in community events
and public ceremonies, illustrating the station’s role in local civic life during
its early broadcasting years.
