Blackstock (ON) Fair bandsman – photo by George Dunbar
Toronto. My good friend, George Dunbar, in his early 90s, often submits ideas and photos, and links to me as he finds them while searching for photo history material.
George was both an industrial photographer and videographer for IBM Canada before he retired. As well as a member of the PHSC, he has spoken at one of our monthly meetings when they were in-person events. And recently, I learned that he is also an author.
George writes, “George Dunbar donated his 55-year photo documentation of the annual Blackstock Fair to The Lake Scugog Historical Society.
“Blackstock, a small town in southern Ontario, is where George’s late-wife Mona was born and raised.
“George thoroughly enjoyed his photography of activities (and particularly, people) at the Fair each August for many, many years and published a book of images in 1994.”
George suggests you browse the town’s facebook page for items of interest.
