The fountain for people was in the small basin at the rear. From there, wasted water went through a pipe to the large basin in front to be used for dogs and, no doubt, horses on occasion. This was one of two drinking fountains on the fair grounds - the other being by the children's paddling pool just inside the main gate on 13th St. In addition to the two fountains on the fair grounds, there was also one on Eighth St. across from the Baubier Hotel in the early days (Brandon: A City, Barker, p. 52).

Mr. Stuckey's notes: Soft roll type wick, encased in chains (on diagonal) tempts cows to use it for scratching, which coats them with insect repellent oil, which is fed from reservoir at top. Simple but very effective according to Fred Vanstone.
