Description
Colorized photo from 1941
Original Title: Barker ad the Green County fair in Greensboro, Georgia
Location: Greensboro, GA
Times were different back then, we exploited animals more than we do now. Today we race pigs. No clothes, or gimmicks just bad pig puns. If you ignore the the chains and leather harnesses around their little bodies, they are actually pretty cute. I feel a little sorry for the sap that had to dress those things, doesn't look easy. Its like dressing an infant that can jump, scratch and bite.
I went with fun colors. I did find a car online that showed the types of color they had. The rest of the scene had colors that would grab for attention.
