Original Toronto Star caption: Getting ready for the opening of the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Friday. Reid Dykun of Grandview; Man.; dries his freshly shampooed steer with a vacuum cleaner. Officials expect about 300;000 visitors to the 50th anniversary edition of the fair; and at least 80 per cent of them will be city people. The horse show is world famous; but the emphasis is still on farm products.
