Howard Racetrack 1908

[frawin]

In the early 1900s Howard was on the National Trotting Horse association's racing circuit, in fact the world Champion Trotting Horse "Joe Bowers' raced on the Howard track. This is a picture of the Howard grandstand August 12, 1908. Howard no doubt had some very aggressive and hardworking businessmen running the community to be able to have a Grandstand like this one and to attract such famous horses. Old "Hot" must have really like trotting Horse racing as there are several pictures in his album of the horses, races and the grandstand.

Isn't that grandstand beautiful?
