NEW FEATURE: "CLOVERLEAF MALL CARNIVAL OUT OF NOWHERE!"

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Ah, the memories...I can remember quite a few blow outs like that.

It's a shame the carnival is going through a death rattle of sorts. It's really only about 100 years old and far to young to be ending. As a Carnie myself, I can attest to the carnival family feeling. Some of my best memories went down on the lot. But the bottom has fallen out of the biz.

I put up a canopy big wheel once, there is more than a 'R' clip at the underside. It is actually secured from the other side of the canopy. Which make a hell of a lot more sense, when you think about it.
