Who remembers the drinking fountain at Elgin Pond?

Located at the corner of Main St S and Mill St is the spring fed water trough.   Kids used to lay down in the trough to get soaked by the cold spring water and then jump into the pond, making the pond water feel warmer.

As kids we used to drink out of it all of the time. If you cup your hand over the spout water shoots out the hole on top like a drinking fountain.
