Capell Bros Side Show

Posted By on January 2, 2010

capell-side-showIn the early 1940’s Doc Capell created his own kind of side show. He made it similar to a menagerie with his animals and combined it with side show performers along with whatever strange or unusual thing he could find.  Doc was very creative……….. have you ever meet a showmen that wasn’t?

    Hello, I am looking for information about John Wesley Eichelberger, who ran or owned the Capell Bros Carnival in the 1970’s with his son also named John, IV.

    I would be very grateful for any information and/or photos.

    Thank you for your help, Nadya Penoff nadyapenoff@yahoo.com
