This is how it looked from the outside. When all of the semis were lined up in a long circle, the midway was all most 3 quarters of a mile long. The different shows were on the side and rides in the center. The circus took up the back half which alone was a little over 250 feet wide 125 deep. There many different types of side shows and carnival games.
