RIVERVIEW â An old banner hanging inside the Showmenâs Museum has inspired an independent movie, and possibly a series of movies, based on the areaâs history as a retirement community for carnival and sideshow workers.
The banner promotes âWolf Boy,â called such because he was covered in hair from head to toe.
