MONEY HONORS CARNIES IN HAVASU

Lake Havasu, Arizona
October 7, 2005


Eddie Money, rocker whose hit includes "Two Tickets to Paradise," and probably several other songs available in various K-TEL collections, has become the financial force behind the building of the Carnies Hall of Fame, located on the outskirts of Lake Havasu, Arizona.

The Carnies Hall of Fame will include such oddities as Lobster Boy, the Bearded Lady, the Contortionist, Anna Nicole Smith and Jimmie Walker. Tributes to cotton candy, Grain Belt beer, and half-smoked cigarettes, as well as, the world-largest outhouse will make this a hot tourist trap for the thousands of tasteless spring breakers that arrive to squirt in the Havasu waters every year.

"Just wanted to give something back to the people who have supported me all these years," said Money. "Hope I can maybe add more midgets to the Hall of Fame in due time, but for now, we just want to get the tent up and running."

The Carnies Hall of Fame is set to open on Elvis' birthday 2006.
