1939: CARNIVALS WERE POPULAR


YES, THAT IS BOB HOPE'S "LES BROWN, THE BAND OF REKNOWN" WITH WHICH WE ARE ALL FAMILAR. OF COURSE, THIS WAS BEFORE HIS BAND MADE THE BIG TIME. THE MERCERVILLE FIRE COMPANY'S CARNIVAL WAS FINISHING AND THE NOTTINGHAM FIRE GUYS GAVE THE AREA A SENSE OF CONTINUITY.

JIM PULITI RECALLS HIS EXPERIENCES WITH CARNIVALS IN HAMILTON.

JIM WROTE:

Your article on Les Brown triggered a memory as follows:
Mercerville Fire Company Carnivals. I remember seeing Bunny Berrigans Orchestra at what I believe is now Mercerville Shopping Center. It seemed so far from home at that Time. My older brother transported us there.
