Year: 1968
Location: Waratah Park & Fairfield Show Ground
Description: After taking a fall from the high board, professional axeman Jim Nelson is trying to reclaim his title as state champion. As in all good episodes, the bad guys are out to stop him.The first photo shows Jerry conversing with Skippy, "What's that Skip? The distributor in Jim's car is broken & he can't get to the Fairfield Show?" The other photos show: the Hammond family walking towards the grandstand, an aerial shot of the show ground, the axemen preparing to start with no sign of Jim Nelson, the axemen in full swing with Jim Nelson in the lead, congratulations for the champ and Head Ranger Matt Hammond apprehends the bad guys.
Some aspects of Skippy seem so quaint today. No one wears dresses (except for maybe sundresses) or shirts and ties to athletic contests anymore.
