About the event

Did you know the original Freak shows of years ago developed into curiosity shows if you went to the fairs in the 50’s and 60’s.  Have you ever seen a flea circus? Where did they get the fleas for the show, how much is a flea? Larger shows included the Wall of Death. Kay will be showing many photos and videos throughout her talk including a ride and what it’s like to ride upon the Wall of Death”.
