Poodles and Grace Hanneford at Frontier Town (1962)

Postby Richard M Roberts » Tue Apr 11, 2023 6:17 am

Here are some home movies of Frontier Town in Upstate New York in 1962 that recently turned up on Youtube, and it appears to have some footage of Grace and Poodles Hanneford performing there (Poodles can be seen around the 1:25 mark). Poodles worked there through most of the late 50's-60's up to his death in 1967 after he retired from Circus performing:

Nice color footage. I guess by this time, Poodles was well past his bareback riding days.
