Very funny and well shot. I like the seahorse maracas. Is that a Speed Graphic?

Blizzard, thanks for the thumb, Bojolee, The parade opens the Summer season. During the seventies, Coney Island was a very bad place to be. Coney Island USA, a non for profit group, revived the area. They support the local artists in the area and run a school for side show performers. More important they keep the dream of Coney Island alive. Coney Island USA the organization runs the parade. It is a family and friend run organization, all volunteers. For more information click http://www.coneyisland.com/
