Around Town With Arle Haeberie

[Idahawk]

Did a little research on this photo and discovered it's was shot in the studio of WCCO Minnesota -St Paul for the television show " Around Town " with Arle Haeberie

Here's a video of Arie with the inventor of Tonka to give you a feel of what it must have been like on the show back then . *****this video does not contain the demo cook ****

But

It's very possibly this demo cook still exists on film and a search for it is currently taking place by the museum that houses these archives to see if it or a transcript is available.

Happy New Year

Cool stuff, question, does anyone load up their kettles like that?

If you notice in the old brochures like the one  @harris posted you see that the number of people you can feed with each grill is mentioned. Must have been a big question back then as a Barbecue was an event with lots of guests

Showing it loaded up must have been the way to go

Yup, but back then there was no craigslist, no 60 year log of available Webers to feed a secondary market, and a new one cost like 2 weeks pay! Had to pack those bad boys of BBQ to bursting!
