Their carnival started with a pony ride and developed into a corporation moving scores of trucks and employees to county fairs throughout the upper Midwest. The Steele family raised kids on the midway and produced lawyers, engineers, and most of all honest and interesting people. Fun people. This is their carnival story.

This book offers a humorous look at the interactions between a professional scientist and his Pennsylvania Dutch farming neighbor as they get involved in various projects around the farm and on hunting and fishing trips where one is an accomplished fly fisher and hunter and the other is not terribly adept at either sport.
