A walk down memory lane...or should we say Queen St.?

Rummaging through photo albums from past festivals is one of the best tasks required to prepare for The Word On The Street's 20th festival. Although it meant I had to enter the dreaded storage space with floor to ceiling boxes, signs and desk chairs, I finally got a chance to flip through the pages of our photo albums. Similar to finding old photos at home, I had to do a few double-takes when I noticed familiar faces. See who you can pick out from the crowd in a selection of my favourites included below...

No wonder the festival had to move to Queen's Park - Queen St. looks a bit crowded.

A new activity launched in 1993 had festival visitors Golfing "FORE!" Literacy.
