🎪 Behind the Whiskers: Florida's Forgotten Marvels

Welcome back, fellow eccentrics, to another exciting episode of Behind the Whiskers! This week, we're diving deep into the preserved history and dusty wonders of the International Independent Showmen's Museum in Gibsonton, Florida—the traditional winter home of the American carnival.

Join us as we:

  • Explore the Ghost Town: Discuss Gibsonton's strange history as a circus and carnival retirement community, and the surprising residents we learned about.
  • Uncover Mechanical Marvels: Detail the bizarre and beautiful vintage show rides, ticket booths, and original exhibits housed within the museum walls.
  • Reflect on Our Roots: Share how stepping into this incredible archive of sideshow, circus, and carnival history inspires the acts and business of the Twisted Whiskers Sideshow.
