Do you know what is going on in this photo??
In this picture, which was part of my Great grandmother's photo collection it shows all these neat old cars in a circle pointed towards the center of the circle. Since they moved back to Ontario from Manitoba in 1914 the date on the photo must be anywhere from 1910-1914.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening here? We had thought that it may be a horse show of somekind and they wanted to have light in case it ran late, have heard someone else say perhaps a horse sale but we do not know.....Please help....Thanks.

I'm thinking a cricket or soccer game. A horse race would take over a larger area. It could be a steeple event but I dont see anything arranged in the circle.

Circling the wagons in case of indian attack?
 ....seriously, I'm thinking some kind of horse show...see the rider in the foreground with a riding helmet and looks more like a thoroughbred type of horse rather than the ones pulling the wagons.

...another thought to go along with my theory. All the wagons are empty. Maybe that's how they transported show/race horses around in those days. They sure didn't have horse trailers like they do now.

Maybe it was the 1st drive in theatre with live actors. or They were recreating the battle of the bulge, demolition derby style.
Maybe it was an intervention gone out of control. (For the guy standing in the middle of the circle) How about a old fashion game where every one races to the middle and the winner gets a horse to ride home. A game of "death tag". Picture of the great gas crisis of 1910. 1/16th mile drags..

What is that structure on the left? Could it be a grandstand of some kind? If so, maybe this is a sporting event and the cars are marking off the field.

maybe some kind of sporting event they plan on playing after dark and they plan on using the head light on the cars to light the field
