Original Toronto Star caption: It was a lovely day for a love-in. Blossoming under Saturday's sunshine; Toronto's hippie flower-children streamed into Queen's Park to sing and play the afternoon away in their first love-in of the 1968 season. Park department workers; who showed up to see how they were behaving; had their truck blockaded by happy hippies who climbed aboard and stayed while the truck groped its way back to street.
