description: Your walk down the midway will never be the same after this journey with the carnies. Desperate for employment to support her family, Kathy steps into a world foreign to us, where she is accepted immediately into this group of vagabonds, and taken under the wing of Roy, the carnival boss. Her daughters, Stephanie and Kelly, become favorites of the carnies and the family’s poignant and humorous escapades reveal the true picture behind the stereotype of the unkempt, ignorant carnie. Enjoy a glimpse of the glamour, the allure and the enchantment that attracts people to the midway—feel both the heartache and the camaraderie that is a part of this nomadic lifestyle. You’ll be looking for the possum bellies, the marks, the carnival light codes, and the ride jocks watching over the Fox in the Box on your next trip to the fair.
