Food? Yes indeed with Davis, displays and dancing to boot
Parte de George Jackson fonds
"It's Bradford Salad Festival Time! Already, the rides for the kids have been set up on the parking lot in front of the community centre, and youngsters are lining up to get on them. The rides aren't going to be the only thing for the children, however. After Saturday's parade, led by Ontario Premier William Davis (which starts at Melbourne Crescent and moves east along Holland St. to Colborne St. where it will disperse), all of the posters that the elementary school children have made will be on display at the Curling Club, next door to the community centre. The weekend is not only for the children; the adults are guaranteed a good time as well."
