Keene Reel 6: Family Gathering Footage
Animal feeding
Farmyards
Lions
Zoos
Skateboarding
Black-and-white footage of a family gathering, featuring men and mostly women of a variety of ages, along with occasional footage of orchards, a shooting range, and a chicken farm.
The footage opens with a gathering of men and women in formal clothing, standing in a field and, later, in front of a home. They play with a dog, pose before cars, throw small balls or fruit to each other, and wash a baby in a birdbath. Some of these family members later visit a zoo (possibly Goebel's Jungleland in Thousand Oaks), and feed an African lion cub and deer. Two young children embrace an elderly woman, two others stand in uniforms (one perhaps a Boy Scout), and several other children ride what look like early skateboards downhill, seated. Elsewhere, a young man fires a pistol at a board, and another man examines a tree in an orchard. The footage closes with several farmworkers loading crates of chickens onto a wagon.
