On Strates Shows

This shot was taken at the Central Florida Fair, Orlando back in the 80's. We were booked with James E. Strates Shows. This was the second time we played that fair. The first time was with
Al Mandy who had the contract with the independent midway. Mike Denapoli, from Syracuse shared a location with us.

  3. Should not charge at all - once you get in there you have to pay, pay, pay so they should not charge at the gate to enter.
