Description
The Stratfield Hotel in Bridgeport, Connecticut, graces this vintage postcard, its muted earth tones accented by delicate pink flowers. A one-cent defense stamp proudly sits on the back, postmarked August 23, 1941. Aunt Hazel’s greetings, sent on a Friday afternoon, share news of local fairs, dating this charming postcard to the 1940s.

Dear Earl – Just a "Hello" and "How are you?" Everyone is up this way. The fair business is on again. Next week Grange Fair and the week after Albert's 4-H fair, then Greenfield Hill has their fair. Love from Aunt Hazel.
