Scope and Content
Photo shows the old Grand Stand on the Exhibition Grounds (now the Keystone Grounds) during what appears to be a cattle auction or show. Unlike the other photos of the Grand Stand in the collection, this photo was taken from the track looking into the Grand Stand rather than looking onto the track from the Grand Stand.
Storage Range
RG 5 Western Manitoba Manuscript collection - photograph storage drawer
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).
