    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.

    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.

    "See Teddy the wrestling bear": ah, Teddy! le nom de tous les bons vieux nounours de notre enfance. Amusant de voir que ce nom était déjà donné au milileu des années 30. On devrait peut être chercher dans la littérature quelle fable ou quelle légende nomme déjà son ours comme ça. Mais qui était le tout premier Teddy?

    The Vermont State Fair has changed. No more wrestling bears. That's a good thing.
