Synopsis
Come one! Come all! Step right up into a world of mystery. Witness, if you will, wonders that defy imagination! Welcome to Gibsonton, Florida, home to the 2 foot 6 inch woman who married the 8 foot 4 inch giant, the couple with the two-headed cow and the contortionist who smiles on one side of his face, frowns on the other, and hammers a spike up his nose. Gibtown is the retirement and off-season home to a myriad of eccentric and colorful carnival and circus performers, where the "biggest status symbol in town is to see how much junk you can pile in your front yard." These "show people" are aware that both they and their colorful way of life are a rapidly fading part of our culture. But they know that there is one place that they are unconditionally accepted and find solace in their safe haven affectionately known as Gibtown.
