Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: People; people everywhere; and most of them were having a great time out at Mosport Park on the weekend. There were 80;000 people at the Canada Jam rock festival; depending on whose expertise you value. Star staff writer E.Kaye Fulton reports. And it was all so peaceful. Only major arrests came when police rounded up 10 men and charged them with selling counterfeit tickets. Eleven bands took part.
