Simply Simon with Some Piemen Going to a Fair?

Is this simply some guy named Simon meeting up with his piemen on their way to a fair (to make a tedious comparison to the nursery rhyme)?

Otherwise, I'm not sure why these three gents are awkwardly holding pies and standing next to the guy in the automobile. Looks like one of the fellows has removed his hat and stashed it on the car's running board during the photo shoot.

This is a larger photo mounted on cardboard, so presumably it recorded some especially memorable or amusing occasion. Take a look at a cropped version of the photo for a better view of the pies.

The photographer's stamp on the back of the photo says, "E. S. Ilgenfritz, Developing & Printing, 34 N. Albemarle St., York, Pa."

c' est une photo intéressante ; peut-être une fête ? un anniversaire ? la qualité du tirage est exceptionnelle .
