Carnivals & Circus` of Cape Charles
Opening May 2025. We are setting up the beautiful 1920`s H. C. Evans Gambling Wheel that the Cape Charles Volunteer Fire Department used during their Fireman`s Carnival fundraiser events. They donated it to us several years ago. The Fireman`s Carnivals were elaborate events enjoyed by everyone in the area.
