21 slides, most from a performance by the Mills Brothers Circus in the late 1950s. I've posted the best of the lot below. Many of the pictures are of individual performers rather than of a proper circus. There also seems to be an exhibition by the performers at a local hospital.

7 slides, most poorly focused, of what appears to be a 1950s Daughters of the American Revolution Event. I've posted the best of the lot below.

38 slides of some sort of military or faux military outdoor marching procession. The soliders are in full formal dress. Some of the slides have the word Rockford written on the frames. I am assuming that this refers to Rockford, Illinois. There is a scoreboard on the field that says "Freeport" which may refer to Freeport High School in Freeport, Illinois.

At least 199 slides, about 75% are red frame Kodachromes from the 1950s. The rest are from the early 1960s. There are 8 souvenir slides from Mackinac Island in Michigan. The bulk of the slides are of the family at holidays and other family gatherings and events.

This is a lot of about 350 slides, mostly red frame Kodachromes from the 1950s, featuring a family from somewhere in the midwest. Perhaps your family? The lot was found at an estate in Illinois so perhaps that is a clue. One of the sets of grandparents appear to have a farm. There are vacation pictures from trips to Florida, the Ozarks, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin. There are some intersting, though poorly focused pictures of the Mills Brothers Circus in the 1950s.
