In My Footsteps Podcast Episode 155: Visiting the County Fair, 'And Then It Happened' Bus Safety Short Film Review, 1970s Teen Movies, Summer Jam Music Festival(7-31-2024)

 


Memories of visiting local county fairs. The 1970s teach you about bus safety. Some classic 1970s teen movies.
Episode 155 of the podcast is making a pit stop in the swinging 70s.
It all starts with the history and memories of county fairs. On Cape Cod, the Barnstable County Fair has been a summer staple for well over 150 years. What makes a classic county fair? Food? Rides? Music? We'll go into all of it.
Bus safety is hugely important. Children of the 1970s likely remember being scarred by the infamous and somewhat impractical short film ...and Then It Happened. We go way Back In the Day to try to figure out just how every possible bad behavior happened on a single bus ride.
What is considered a 'teen movie' grows and evolves over time. This week's Top 5 takes a look at some of the most well-known 1970s teen movies. Some make sense while others might not fit the typical mold of a teen movie.
There is also a brand new This Week In History and Time Capsule centered around the historic Summer Jam music festival in New York in 1973.
