Williams Family #1 (From Toby Styles)

Rex was the first person to bring circus acts and elephant rides into Catskill and was so successful they continued the policy as long as the Game Farm existed.
Here is another act he provided, this time with daughters Darlene and Renee.

I remember Al Vidbel at the Game Farm, too.
Ian Garden, Jr. also spent a summer at the Game Farm.

That little stretch of land along Route 32 in Greene County New York was home to lots of circus talent over the years.

The Game Farm being the biggest and then Carson City, a 50's style western town up the road.
