The 3rd Annual Seminar of Sideshow Arts

The GREAT MEAH! It had been too long, but we finally made it up to see Johnny and Mary Meah last weekend. They are doing great, and Johnny is deep into working on a new book. More details to come!

LAST CHANCE! ONE OF A KIND! LIMITED SEATING GOING FAST! -- In Dedication to Ward Hall --

Hear the tales, stories, and experiences from inside the sideshow by the people who lived it. A chance to walk in their shoes and see what it was really like. This indigenous American art form is quickly vanishing, now is your chance to be entertained. You’ll laugh and you’ll cry when you hear what really goes on behind the scenes.

Come and be entertained and enlightened, and you will feel a full sense of edification.
