I grew up in Framingham in the 70's to mid-80's, went to many events at Shopper's World, and have a shutterbug for a father. I'll take a look when I'm back there.

I have a copy of the Framingham News with the artist concept drawing of the original shopper's world on the front page (will have to dig it out if you need it). Also, I have aerial photos from several eras including the one's I shot myself in '97 at http://www.framingham.com/history/aerial97/shopwrld.htm I also have a pair of souvenier ceramic Salt & Pepper Shakers (they are blackface "Mammy" and "Chef" figures) with "Souvenir of Shopper's World Framingham Mass" in gold foil on the belly... I'll see what else I have, (I know I have several postcards and ephemera items).. ...Let me know what you'd like -- you know where to find me. Randy. Hi Michelle,

I got Marty Barrett's autograph at the white gazebo, he was signing autographs one day I think it was the fall after the 86 world series. My parents took me to see the reindeer there every winter.

One of them suggested you check the archives of the MetroWest Daily news at the library. Not sure if you could use those for a book, but it couldn't hurt to ask. Good luck with this!
