Carnivals and Amusement Parks-Knobels

     I love carnivals and amusement parks.  The biggest events of the summer were the coming of the local carnival and county fair.  Here was a new, exciting world: here were scantly clad Hoochie Coochie dancers; leather clad tattooed (there were very few tattoos in those days)daredevil motorcyclists riding inside the "wall of death" ; plus bearded ladies, snake charmers, etc.  WOW!

     In the past two weeks I was in my "Happy Place" twice-once at Knobels and the other at a local Carnival.
