Description
Title supplied by cataloger.
Photographer's caption reads, "Amanda veers from tender to tough to bored. "My Uncle owns the carnival," she explained. She works the "grab bag" booth. For two tickets you reach in with a stick and grab a bag, contents unknown. Swartwood Carnival was in Hollywood for a three-day stand. A sizable percentage of the customers were downright creepy, said Amanda. She spoke of the men who lick the rubber loop on the long stick that grabs the bag."
