Crowd at the Spring Fair in 1991
Toronto.Fairs always bring excitement. Our spring fair 33 years or so ago was no different. In issue 17-2 of our journal, Bob Lansdale’s photos like the one at left were reproduced while Larry Boccioletti summarized the event saying, “Although it took more work than previous Fairs, it was a resounding success.
“John Alldredge’s evaluation table appraised some twenty cameras; eighty-one tables offered innumerable items; 608 discount tickets (of which 157 were clipped from news papers) were collected. No actual count of total admissions was made but the photo page by Bob Lansdale tells the story.”
You may not have been around back then, or perhaps you were too young to collect photographic goodies. You can make it up now by visiting our latest fall fair on October 20, 2024! Lots of free parking in the area, delicious food, inexpensive admission, and a chance to discover new goodies for your collection or use! This link gives details and directions.
