  2. Sorry!
    But I don't know the year.
    But maybe Mike Naughton could help us out on this one.

  3. The park closed in 2000, I have no idea when this was filmed.
    Gracie died in 2006 and left an estate worth more than $900,000, most of which was used to set up a scholarship at the Lake George High School in the name of her father, Edwin "Poodles" Hanneford.

  4. Hi folks:

    I'm the guy who took the video and posted it on youtube. Gracie appeared at Whalom park in Lunenburg, MA several times during the mid 1980's. I believe this video was 1985 or 1986. Hope this helps. Gracie was a wonderful lady. If you would like to visit Whalom Park's Memorial Website: www.drawbridgepuppets.com and click on the hot air balloon to visit Whalom Park.
