All I recall is I wasn't much wanted anywhere at shows as a kid .... I never touched a thing at shows without asking and had my own gloves too
Stopped going to any shows until I was an adult and there was still a thorn in my foot at first.
Plus it became Gramps time to socialize with phone voices, pen pals, and other Shriners. Grandma even stayed home then. We lived in Ohio then and he always used us as a rest stop, or hotel with better food.
