Hey all, just browsing the net, and happened across this link.

"Broadcast Date: Jan. 26, 1971
His name is synonymous with midway rides across the country. From the Calgary Stampede to the Canadian National Exhibition, Patty Conklin's eagle-eyed management of his amusement shows made the old carny a multimillionaire. Even with failing health and the changing times, Conklin still stalks the show grounds as the rides rise, but he's also wise enough to have groomed his heir. In this posthumous portrait of the Carnival King, Telescope shadows Conklin as he assembles his last midway and introduces the son who will inherit his realm. "

I haven't watched it yet, but thought I'd throw it up here for you guys to check out.
