From a postcard booklet featuring Weirs Beach. I'd guess early 50s.
From the Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society web page
"And Irwin was quick to capitalize on the bathing beauty phenomena which had been started by Atlantic City’s Miss America Pageant in 1919, creating the Miss Winnipesaukee Pageant the very same year that the Gardens opened. The pageant is still going strong and has produced more Miss New Hampshire winners than any other pageant in the state."
