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.

rutland looks like many people would love. i would take my kids there.
It's also cruel to pay to see people wrestle bears

Eliot needed a swig of Jack now and again to deal with all the freakin barking he had to do
