Barefoot Boy of the Carnival Lives Free On the Road
John, 27, a suitcas e pulling performer with the James H. Drew Exposition in Bluefield, recounts a nomadic life on the road. He came from Canada near Detroit, worked milk cans at the side show, once earned over a thousand dollars in a week, and valued meeting people over settling down. The crew travels from town to town with little sleep, and one firing last week ends the Bluefield run as the show moves on.
