TGIF with Christopher Fair, the Court Jester of Disneyland, circa 1959. He was hired out of high school to do magic tricks and juggling at the Park; it was his idea to ride around on a unicycle. Here he is in Central Plaza, near the Castle, with the Matterhorn in the background.
See more Disneyland photos at my main website.
Thanks, Dave, for reminding of the Disneyland of long-ago before Walt decided to re-do the park in living color. Wasn't that in 1959? :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Nick - Yes, you are correct. The world had only burst into color once before, back in 1939!
