Gansett Goodies are here!

The Gansett Goodies from ebay have arrived! And they are all so wonderful! I love piecing together the history of the park and the different views of it. I only wish I would have been alive to see it in it's glory.

I have four new programs from the 60s, a RI brochure from 1941 that has two lovely pictures of Gansett in it. A season pass for 1976, a win photo of Banditos Reward, a photo of Judge Dooley and Walter O'Hara at the Gansett construction site in 1934 and a HOLIDAY magazine which has a picture of Gansett in it from 1941.

Here are more pictures.

More 'Gansett goodies from ebay!

There have been many wonderful 'Gansett items on ebay lately and I have managed to snatch a few more to add to my growing collection.

I won another racing photo. This time in color and from 1976. I also won some old ticket stubs from the 70s, 4 racing programs from the 60s, a photo of Judge Dooley and Mr. O'Hara at the track construction site in 1934, a 1941 RI state Brochure with pictures of 'Gansett in it, a 1949 HOLIDAY magazine with a picture of 'Gansett in it. I've done fairly well!

There were many other items that I would have LOVED to have owned, but I was sadly outbid on alot of them. I can't be greedy and buy everything. ;)

I will be sure to upload pictures of my newest addition of Narragansett Park racing history when they are all here.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome!

I decided to create a blog for my Narragansett Park site to keep visitors updated on new Narragansett Park item findings and updates to the website.

I have received some fabulous guestbook entries and e-mails over the last several months and I want to thank everyone who has contacted me.

I also want to thank those who have allowed me to use photos of their various Narragansett Park memorbilia.


I just received two original race photos I won on ebay of horses owned by Ber-Mer Farm.

One of the horses is "Noodles" and the other I am trying to read the ink on the mat. It's a bit faded from being so old. The photos are from 1942 and 1943 and I am SO happy to add them to my growing collection of Narragansett Park memorbilia.
Photographs are my favorite memorbilia to collect. As they say, 'A photograph says a thousand words" and it is so true!


As always, I am looking for more Narragansett memorbilia to buy or photographs to add to the gallery. Information is of course always graciously accepted. The park closed the year before I was born so I am relying on magazine and newspaper articles as well as stories from those who worked or visited the park.


Thanks for reading.
