I remember the circus coming to town. For a number of years it would be on the farm of Ben Parker on Wampum road. A lot of us kids would go and help the circus set up the big tent and the other tents and we would get a pass to see the show.It was a lot of hard work but we enjoyed doing it and being around the circus people seeing the animals it was like being back stage. I remember one year the truck that hauled the cook tent it left to go to the next town to setup for the next day. The truck went thru Ellwood and down Frisco hill across the bridge
and wrecked in to a house I don`t remember if there was anyone hurt there were rumors that alcohol was involved but I do not know
I so remember the Boltbuster’s football team as my brother, Harry Hughes, played. He was #53 and in the picture you can see him in the front row. My mom went to his games, but she could never pick him out of the crowd of players. So, he told her he would wear one of his jersey sleeves rolled up to his elbow and leave the other at his wrist, that way she could know it was him. It worked!
back in the 30s, a local drum & bugle corp band performed in parades etc. in full dress. I believe it was called the “firemans band”. they practiced in the p&le parking lot. was an impressive sight, can’t recall when it disappeared. comments please.
I am only 22 years old but i grew up in Park Gate and know i have family with pictures of the old train Tracks as well as the old Park Gate School& church please let me know where to remit anything to.
the picture http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7269/scan0003fd.jpg is not a Cross Country picture, but it is a Track and Field Photo
Twin Kiss: Easy (Isman) Mariotti was my grandfather, I believe I have some good photos from the 60′s and 70′s. I’ll find them and get them to you. I should also have some sports photos of the Frisco Little Teams from the early 70′s. The Frisco kids won the Little, Pony and Colt title five years running.
This is a great web-site, you’ve done a wonderful job with it.
Paul MacMurdo – The Fombell Area Historical Society would love to have copies of pics of Easy’s as well. Please let me know if you are able to get any photos. Thanks!
