The Circus Sideshow

| August 26, 2018

                                                     Crowds like this are seldom seen, if at all.                   I can’t see the banner line as to get the name of the sideshow.

The Odd and Unusual

| August 18, 2018

  I believe this was my grandfather’s sideshow. He would change from year to the next. It might be the same animal or what ever. The only thing that ever changed was the verbiage on the banner.
