- Muskegon/Grand Rapids/Allendale Footage Part 2. This is a video in color without audio. There are issues with color balance throughout the video, and some clips come from damaged film and are speckly or distorted. It is a compilation of various clips of footage. It begins with footage of the Muskegon County Wastewater Management System, farms, crops, and general landscape shots. There is a portion of the landscape footage that has footage from another video (Russel H. Kirkhof donation) overlaid upside down, so the image is dark and confusing. The majority of the video is from the Festival ’79 in downtown Grand Rapids. There are clips from musical performances from different groups, children painting and playing, shots of the crowd, tents and food cooking, and runners finishing a race. The end of the video is footage of a forest, creek, and a cabin, and more race footage.
