Original Toronto Star caption: Piles of garbage clutter up Mosport's 30 acres after the Strawberry Fields rock festival ended yesterday. But almost 1;000 young people were still camped at the racetrack site early today; some of them rummaging through the trash picking out blankets and shoes. One of the remaining youths blamed the mess on the promoters. He said they should have provided plastic garbage bags.
