This photograph is believed to be of the Livingston County Fair, at the Fairgrounds in Howell, Michigan. The fairgrounds were located in the northeast section of the city of Howell, where Catrell Drive now is. In view is the racetrack, horses, spectators, and in the background the Motor Drome.
The motor drome a silo-shaped wooden cylinder and its interior, 90-degree wooden wall serves as a track. Spectators stand on a platform that surrounds the top of the cylinder, and watch as the daredevils ride around the wall and perform tricks.
