Some great color for a grey and rainy Friday

It’s raining in Athens today:

so to brighten our moods, we’re taking a peek at a sunny day of the past. In 1955, someone at WBZ-TV Boston filmed the Monte Carlo Fair that took place locally in either autumn or spring, based on the clothing, and Sid Pike saved the film. Outdoors in sunlight is the perfect place to shoot on Kodachrome, so you really get to see the hyper-real colors, and boy are there a lot of colors in this short reel. Here are a few frames.

The folks who brought in all the fair equipment were the Lagasse Amusement Co. out of Haverhill, Mass.

WBZ personnel were on the committee for the fair and I’m guessing the event may have had a benefit component. The auctioneer in one scene was one of the station anchors:

If you can tell us more about this event, please do!

From the a/v holdings of the Sid Pike Collection, a bit of Kodachrome to brighten your afternoon! These scenes are from his travels to Brazil for the program, The American Way of Life. That’s Sid himself at the wall map, and at far left in the group of 3 men. The footage is 55 years old, but it’s as vibrant and colorful as the day it was made.

More beautiful #Kodachrome from Sid Pike’s trip to Brazil as part of his transnational broadcast between Brazil’s TV Excelsior and WHDH in the U.S.

Sid was working with his cousin, Álvaro de Moya, on the project. After returning to the U.S., he wrote up a newsletter and said this about his travels:
