You know we discuss the big shows a lot so thought we might could talk about the smaller shows that you remember, maybe 15-20(+/-) ride shows that made an impression (good or bad) on you. Some I remember were some nice regional shows here in the South.
Leland Johnson - can just remember a little, out of Hendersonville NC, had a wheel, roll o Plane, and Trooper I believe. Sadly, never have been able to find out much on this show or pictures.
Hardin Shows - Now from what I remember he used to love to start a show, build the route, sell it then start all over again. Now he had the latter Georgia Amusements, but before that he had Hardin Shows. Can remember the Wheel, Tempest, Scrambler, Rock O Plane, Roll O Plane and kiddies.
Childress (early years) - Remember as a kid he came to town lots of summers, had a Wheel, Scat, Whirly Bird, small round up, MGR, Tubs, Pony Cart, Moon Walk, Musical Chairs and others. This was before he really started growing, but always a nice spring/summer carnival for a week.
McBride - Came to town several summers in late 70s, small show but nice. Ground mount Eli, Scram, Tilt, Roll O Plane and great mix of kiddies. Trailers were all white with red and blue stripe.
