The Great Nippulini hooks up his cylinder head while Petey the dwarf and Chumley
the Happy Clown watch.

Closing his eyes, the Great Nippulini waits for his bally to end...

This is not your average ordinary sideshow strongman, folks.

INSIDE THE TENT...

"It's a bowling ball, what else can I tell ya?"

A classic pose.

A working act amongst the gaffs.

Closing the day with a big chunk of solid aluminum.

 The State Fair, Nippulini heaven.
After MANY years of having the Pennsylvania State Fair go by right in his very own neighborhood, the Great Nippulini finally got his chance to perform CLASSIC sideshow.  The Great Nippulini was invited by C.M. Christ of Christ and Hall (Ward Hall) to help set up tent, as they were short on labor.  Doing as much as he could, the Great Nippulini savoured every moment of becoming a true "carny".  For compensation of helping set up tent, C.M. gave the Great Nippulini the opportunity of holding the bally stage and showing off his talent to his neighbors.
