Scope and Content

Two black-and-white negative photographs featuring the Aldborough Old Boys' Association's pavilion, on August 12, 1976.

R13 S3 Sh6 B2 161a was published in the West Lorne Sun on August 12, 1976, with the caption: ""Fifty-five years ago the pavilion at the Aldborough Old Boys' Park was built and dedicated at the 20th annual reunion. About 10 years later the building had to be enlarged to accommodate increasing numbers of dancers patronizing Wednesday night 5-cent per dance dances. During the 55 years thousands of dancers - and sand tracked up onto the floor - wore the original fir floor almost through, with it having to be replaced with a new one prior to Victoria Day weekend. The new floor has proven excellent for dancing."
