Happy Holiday Feeling: Rex Trailer

If you grew up around Boston in the late 1950’s through 1974, you know Rex Trailer and Boomtown, his Saturday morning TV show. We all sang the theme song, watched cowboy rope tricks and saw Rex ride his wonderful horse Gold Rush. Rex said Boomtown had one motto, “If it was not something that the kids could learn from, we didn’t do it.”

The Enchanted Village was put up every year in Jordan Marsh. It was a wonder.

I found this clip on youTube of Rex and his sidekick Pablo going through the village.

    I was on Boomtown around Christmas time. Santa was there. We got stockings with stuff in them and I got to sit on Goldrush. He had a saddle sore but it didn’t seem to bother him much.

      Caryn,
      I’m jealous!! You were there at a great time, Christmas. Rex was known for his kindness and his love of kids.
