It's clear that Tree commands respect. Several carnies gather around to listen to him talk. The question elicits hearty laughs from his gallery. That was the main reason I started. I had four hot dates at the last carnival we did.
Tree is asked where they stay when they're in town.
The carnies stay at the armory. Two trailers are placed there for them. They are equipped with bunk beds and a couple of showers. Tree adds there are temporary quarters for carnies near every festival site. These accommodations, he says, are a joke.
