Death of the Carnival.
As much as it pains me to say so; I think it may be. These traveling carnivals that show up once or maybe twice a year in a place aren't exactly brand new. The rides and booths are all old and don't look like they have been well kept. They've been around so long and aren't being replaced that eventually when they go, they'll be gone for good. There aren't influxes of new Ferris Wheels and rides to take the places of the old stalwarts. Even large amusement parks like Six Flags are having trouble surviving. If those places are having issues...what does that mean for your local carnival?
