Thank you for posting this video, with a brief but wonderful clip of Smiley Burnette. Smiley, who made over 150 feature films, was voted one of the Top Ten moneymaking attractions in western movies in the 1940s, as well as one of the top 100 actors in all Hollywood films. He composed more than 300 songs, several of which are considered country music standards. There are still several cds of his recordings in print. The footage was evidently made soon after his cataract surgery in December 1965.
Don't ever remember balloon's in any of the parades I watched in Portsmouth. I do remember Jerry Van Dyke being in one of the parades. I was around 12, so it was in 1972. Thanks for the memories!!! Love it!
