    The Rutland State Fair girlie show lasted into the early 80's before it was shut down. It became extremely raunchy towards the end of its run (even I was shocked!)

    Great image,Depth and expression of the human condition travling with a Carni in the 40's was a harsh life.The detail in these images brings to life so well those days of doubt and mystery.Very powerful.

    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.
