7/24/2010 at 8:19 AM
The Brandon Agricultural Society opened the first Summer Exhibition on this date.
It took place south of the city at the Palace Gardens.
A few days later posted in the gossip column of the local newsprint conveyed the intelligence that “pigsties in the district are offending the olfactory nerves of various citizens who complain.”
Note: olfactory means “Sense of Smell”.
