Danbury State Fair Parade, 1964
Uploaded for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: PARADES.
This photo was taken at the Danbury, Connecticut State Fair in late September, 1964.
We were new immigrants to the US, having arrived that year, and thought this American fair quite wonderful.

I searched "Mounties at the Danbury Fair" and it appears that their show team made regular appearances at the fair in the sixties and seventies. This is from a New York Times article from October, 1976: In the grandstand, from tomorrow through next Wednesday, there will be a performance each day by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride. This will be just after the street parade at 2 P.M.—a Fellinilike procession of princesses and clowns and of vehicles of all sorts and ages that can still be driven or pulled before the crowd for its entertainment.
The Mounties provide a full troupe of 32 men and horses, pacing and cantering with precision through intricate figures and movements, accompanied all the while by the Wendell Cook Band. The troupe winds up each show with a thundering charge.
I can see why this made an impression! "Fellinilike procession" cracked me up.
I think we might have gone to the fair as a family only one more time after this, but my parents went quite often after my brother and I had left home.
The fair became much bigger I believe, though it seemed very big to us, that first year.
