    I went to this fair every year when I lived in Rutland!

    Good to see a time when people were smart enough not to need all the safety equipment we need these days.

    Ferris wheels scare me

    I bet this ride is still in operation someplace.

    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!

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    I like the way this scene is observed by the photographer. He is an outsider and obviously keeps his distance but the distance is physical, not emotional. What also fascinates me, is the backdrop of floating letters on the stage truck 'canvas'.

    I love the little kid playing nearby, unaware that these women were scorned by society.

    What I find interesting is how looking at this photo, if you were not given the context, you might think it has been taken last week. Unlike most of the photos from this era, there clothes are more like what we where today. Leather Jacket, jeans, even the 'girls' outfit is reminiscent of somethig I could or have seen girls whearing today.
