Carnivals are extremely dangerous for children. I was molested by a man and his son who worked for the Bill Hames show in the seventies. Now I have suffered long enough and I’m trying to get info on my aggressors but the industry is trying to hide everything. I’ve reached out to the relatives of Bill Hames and they will not respond. If that doesn’t tell you something I don’t know what will. Keep children away from carnivals!
I’m looking for the man and his son who molested me. They had the bingo stand and the stretch bottle ring toss. This happened in the mid seventies and I was 10 years old. They were in round Rock Texas at the frontier park off of highway 35 and rr 620. I’ve never been able to live a life without demons living in my mind. I need closure!!!! I now have just enough courage to come out and I will be coming after all who were involved! Stop avoiding me!!!!!!! I need closure!!!!!!!
I’m looking for the pedophiles that raped me as a child in round Rock Texas. The father was the owner of ran the bingo stand and the stretch bottle ring toss.he and his son molested me in the mid seventies. It was brutal and ruined my life. I am almost 60 now and have never had a normal life. If I can find these two it would help me to remove the demons living in my mind.
My grandmother was Mary Cobb and her husband was snippy cup from the bill Haynes show in the 50s. They own the cookhouse. I’m the granddaughter and I remember Mary Helen Hayes and buster always being around I’m 70 years old now and I was just wondering if anybody remembered them?
Mary Hellen Brown (Hames) was my aunt. Buster Briwn my cousin. He was quite the businessman and pretty much ran the family business in the 70’s and the 80’s. He was also the president of the Showman’s Association for some time.
Sure would appreciate it if I could find the two pedos that took my life away from me. Your uncle harboured pedophiles and run aways and you are just as much a pile of trash as he was!!!!!!
Any chance you know who ran the bingo and stretch bottle stand? I need the names of the man and his son so I can get closure. I was brutally molested and lived a life of hell because of that. Please help.

My uncle, Bill Berryhill, worked for the Bill Hames carnival. We always got to see him when the carnival was nearby; at Halloween & at the Fat Stock Show. It was fun because he would let us ride any ride we wanted for as long as we wanted. As kids, we loved this! He passed away in the late 60’s. Sunshine was one of his pallbearers. Our daddy, Ben Berryhill, had also worked for the carnival as a young boy. Growing up, he never allowed us to play games at any carnival or the State Fair. The only story that I remember daddy telling about was the boys diving off of Dolly Dimple, the fat lady.
Trying to find out if the Bill Hames Show really closed and why? If so where did everyone go?
I’m looking for Shorty Dewitt. He worked there sometime in the early ’60’s. I worked there for one season in I believe ’61 or’62. I remember how kind he was and I called him Uncle Shorty. If anyone knows what happened to him or where he is please let me know.
