A traveling carnival (US English), usually simply called a carnival, is an amusement show that may be made up of amusement rides, food vendors, merchandise vendors, games of chance and skill, thrill acts, and animal acts. A traveling carnival is not set up at a permanent location, like an amusement park, but is moved from place to place. Its roots are similar to the 19th century circus with both being set up in open fields near or in town and moving to a new location after a period of time. Unlike traditional carnival celebrations, the North American traveling carnival is not tied to a religious observance.
In 1893, the Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition (also called the Chicago World's Fair) was the catalyst for the development of the traveling carnival. The Chicago World's Fair had an area that included rides, games of chance, freak shows and burlesque. After the Chicago World's Fair, traveling carnival companies began touring the United States. Due to the type of acts featured along with sometimes using dishonest business practices, the traveling carnivals were often looked down upon.
In this pilot webisode, we go behind the scenes at two distinctively different traveling carnivals to see just where those carnies call home.
These are 10 things you didn't know about Traveling Carnivals!

There is no place on earth that embraces winter with as much enthusiasm as Quebec City. Having the chance to participate in the Winter Carnival festivities was an opportunity of a lifetime. What did we do? Well, it's more like what didn't we do. Ice canoeing, dog sledding, sleigh riding and tobogganing to mention just a few. When we weren't exploring the Old Quarters of Quebec City we were off doing things like checking out the magnificent Ice Hotel or visiting with Bonhomme. Overall, it was a celebration of winter that we'll never forget. The following is a complete travel guide to experiencing Quebec City Carnaval.
