Boils, if you want to try and colorize those, be our guest. Would be cool to seem them as such.

Thanks again Mr. T., keep 'em coming.

Nice pic. I grew up not too far from East Liverpool. I remember the Pottery Festival played by Deshler.

Question: Saturday when I was in Greentown I parked next to a truck marked Tilton from Fly, OH. Is this the same guy?

As Roger said, that would be Jon Tilton with Mid America Shows, he owns the Allan Herschell Flivver, Allan Herschell Helicopters, and the Zamperla Rio Grande Train (which used to say Fly, Ohio on top of the sign, now has them Mid America Shows logo). He traveled with Pugh Shows for a long time, then Wade Shows for a few years, now M.A. since 2001. Jody Tilton has games and a pizza trailer with McDonagh's Amusements.


Interesting photo, Mick. I like old photos, history, that sort of stuff.
