KAWARTHA LAKES-“This photograph of the Bobcaygeon Band was taken on fair day, 1900. The band leader, Edwin Brooks, is leading the band towards the fairgrounds. Here they are at the south end of Bolton Street, roughly in front of the Masonic Building. It was amazing the kind of a band they had in those days—the number of people in the band and the instruments they used to have.” At this time Bolton Street was a dirt road, and you can see “how high the banks were on the side. There were wooden sidewalks on both sides.”
