Sideshow Amusements has one in WA - I'll post a fresh photo next week for reference.

So it was eventually running at Perth?

Plays in normal quality now BTW

I meant it in earnest and I didn't even notice the over spray - ha!

I'm liking the look of the Hurricane's cars - the blue colour scheme, stripes and flourish all work really well with the rainbow tribal on the sides.

Petition? You're better off taking up a collection - WA showmen don't get handouts for the Eastern States capitals, it's just the other way around.

I heard the same, it's also not on their park map anymore.

I haven't been to AW for a few years so I wouldn't know what condition the rest of it's really in.

Indeed, this is what I am trying to avoid

Not negotiable enough for most of us I imagine

Hi All,

I'm doing a logo for a travelling showman client and I'm wondering what you can suggest as symbols of the travelling showman, sideshow or amusement industries?

Examples; Carousel Horse, Ferris Wheel, Laughing Clown

Any suggestions are much appreciated

It would have made for a dramatic photo

With no intended hostility, why the hostility?

Regarding the claim, do you have experience to say otherwise?

Can't help personally but best of luck - most ag societies need representation that better reflects the general population

I can say with 100% certainty that it was there and functioning - I don't know if it had any intermittent issues during the show, if it did, nobody told me about it.

When was this?

Forget about people who will make fun of you - they just wont get it. Have you got a portfolio going? You could probably pick up some freelance work with the right connections.

I wont be up there to set up all our gear ( ) until next weekend.

Mark, what do the layout changes look like on the ground? I've just looked at the official map online and it's basically the same as last year iirc.
