    Truly outstanding! Jacob, one can tell how hard you’ve worked over the years by the fact that now you make it look easy.
    But your style has now been honed over hundreds of videos, and through persistence, you have created a fully 3 dimensional character who is a blast to spend time with, puts one completely at ease and puts positivity out into the world. No kidding, the Carpetbagger is so engaging I can actually see a feature film or two based on his exploits.
    It is gratifying to me to see how your hard work over the years is paying such dividends, and I don’t mean only financial. Your content and the way you present it grows and grows. Keep the quality up and I believe you will reap rewards you have yet to dream of.
    Thanks

    When you eventually make it to the CA state fair you will have to check out the county dioramas. Each county does a large scale diorama, some have basic animatronics, some are semi walk through. I think they are different every year and they always do a good job on them. It's quite a bit better than the bookcases you showed at this fair. Its also a semi-competition because they give out awards like 'best design' or 'best special effects' etc.

    Scarecrows only work if you move them around the garden. If left in one place for too long its a perch.
    It also helps to hang flashy things on them like silver ribbons or shiny CDs. A mounted whirley-gig works too.

    Haunted house dark rides at fairs are a dying breed! My area’s traveling midway circuit that comes to all the fairs (Fiesta Shows) used to have both a haunted house walkthrough and a dark ride but they haven’t made an appearance at any fairs since 2019 and I fear they are gone for good. Also with the pigs pooping on the track, I don’t think I’ve ever watched a pig race where that DIDN’T happen, it is because they’ve been kept inside the trailer for a long time and don’t want to go inside, so they go as soon as they’re outside. They are smart animals and basically housetrain themselves.

    That Zierer Indy 500 coaster has been with the Riethhoffer Shows carnival since 1975 and I rode it in 1980 as a kid. There are very few still around much less ones that travel. It concerns me that some of their equipment and operations need improvement as seen in your video: malfunctioning carrousel horse, crummy interior of haunted house ride, employees not paying attention, paint and new padding/seats needed (Indy 500) that's not from this year's use. I'm sure their margins are tight but you see other traveling carnival companies like Ray Cammack Shows really putting in the extra effort.

Lots of bears and other wildlife like deer, bison, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, river otters, arctic wolves and more. You can do a drive through and a walk through tour. You would like it. Hope you do go there. I would love to see your take on Bearizona.

    The Tennessee State Fair actually move to Lebanon over parking issues, if the fairground was going to be upgraded. It has not been redeveloped. The fair moved in 2019.
    The Nashville speedway in the fairgrounds are on one property, there have been no upgrades, but we still do have a fair, it is now called the Nashville Fair. It is held over the time of Labor Day weekend, which is the same time as the the State Fair used to be.
    I have lived in Nashville area for 30+ years
    Haha, that other camel incident I believe was also in Tennessee, at that Safari
