Mighty Thomas Carnival...love the theming on the "bump" of the kiddie 4x4 ride. Also, I've always been partial to the "old" ground-mount Floyd and Baxter Bumper Cars. I understand and appreciate the attraction of today's Scooters for Show owners, but I still like the old-school ones better. I know, I don't have to move one. Only way to be better is to have the old-style looking "dodgem cars".
I've never been "with it", just been an interested observer of carnivals for more than 50 years.
Johnny's United Shows..."A Family Tradition" and "All for Fun, Fun for All".
The carnival of my youth, which had roots that originated in my hometown.
