A GREAT idea, CNY CHRIS. Let's face it, for many of us fans the American carnival of yesterday was better than the American carnival of today--more rides, more color, more and better help, less costly to operate than today insurance wise and such.
I LOVE to see photos of rides that were popular in the 1960's and 1970's and would not mind hearing more about the state fairs of these two decades from those on this board who were a part of the American carnival scene back then.
And in regard to my own area of the country I would love to hear about the midway history of the Topsfield Fair in Topsfield, MA, the Deerfield Fair in Deerfield, New Hampshire, the Fryeburg Fair in Fryeburg, Maine, and the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
