Carnival, May, 1973

The pictures below were taken at a carnival in May, 1973. The carnival took place in the parking lot of a shopping center that had a Giant and a Zayre department store. Was it Free State in Bowie, or is it possible that the carnival was in New Carrollton? The Bowie Blade did cover stories from surrounding communities including New Carrollton.

Note the Giant sign in the background.

Another picture with the Giant sign in the background.

The "ZAYRE" sign is visible in this night shot.

I can't make out the names of the other stores on the left.

Is there a hill like this in the back of Free State?

Note the parking lot light on the top right side of this picture.

This picture was not taken with the others. It was part of a set of pictures of a carnival in the parking lot of Free State Mall. Note the difference in the style of light between this picture and the one above it. This is what makes me think that the May, 1973 carnival was in New Carrollton.

Don't waste your money, kid. It's really just a fancy Clorox bottle!

Typical 1960s era Bowie elementary school.

Note the Whitehall pennants on the left side of the table.

The mermaid on this girl's shirt looks a little like Dora the Explorer.

Cute Kids in Bowie, Summer, 1973

The Bowie Blade has had its share of "cute kid" pictures over the years. Below is a set of pictures taken during the summer of 1973. It's probably safe to say that most of these pictures did not appear in the paper, although some may have.
