Silent color 16mm film containing footage shot at both the Detroit Historical Society's New Member Party in the backyard of Henry D. Stricker in Milford on October 18, 1952, and at a Detroit Lions game at Briggs Stadium on November 2, 1952.
The "A Day In the Country"-themed Detroit Historical Society party footage starts out with a shot of a woman playing a ukulele. Afterward are shots of people eating at tables set up outdoors beside a grey barn. Young people are filmed dancing in front of the parking area. In one shot, Henry Brown is shown arranging chairs, while wearing a yellow ribbon on his lapel. A woman smoking a cigarette also receives a close-up. There also several shots of the exterior of the home and barn including one of a "H.D. Stricker" sign on the barn. This sequence ends with several shots of a rural area, including an autumn scene of a road covered with fallen leaves.
In the final portion of the film the Detroit Lions play the Cleveland Browns at Briggs Stadium. The camera captures the action from just above the level of the field.
The film is on a grey 3.75-inch plastic reel housed within a yellow Cine-Kodak Kodachrome box. The form on the box is made out to H.M. Hastings in the Book Tower, and a postmark stamp is made out for February 9, 1953.
