  Surprising to see just how little the State Fairs have changed over the years .... save for the enormous rides!

  An interesting note on the cavas banners in those days.A very few survive from the 30's thru the end of the 40's.All were hand painted in those days and some have sold in fair condition for 6000.00$.Some painted by very well known artists of the era.Some are absolutely truly a master work.An old one in good condition from a major circus or well known Carni could fetch 10K.....................so if you are lucky enough to have one don't leave it in the barn.

  Carnival, wrestling bear, all alive... Life's canvas is the richest painting of them all.

  Another worthy photos for re-print and for people that love Tatoos or Carnival art this would be collectable.

  This was a "Continuous" show. You paid your nickel and entered; when you'd seen all the acts, you left. The brown pelican has its own perch, so it certainly traveled with the show. I don't see any chain on the leg, so it was probably a pet bird rather than a captured bird.

  I so love carnivals!
