THE AMAZING BALENSKIS
The Baleys; Bob, wives Betty #1, Betty #2, Betty #3, and Betty #4 (all will become clear in time) of Bakersfield, along with son Bubba and twin daughters Buffie and Bambie, have been performing as the 'AMAZING BALENSKIS’ from Romania with CARNIVALE for many years. In their earlier life, back in Bakersfield, Bob with wife Betty #1 ran a butcher shop called BOB THE BUTCHER, the girls were roller skating car hops at a Giant Orange Drive-In out on Highway 99, while son Bubba collected lizards. Bob and Betty #1 were performing their knife throwing act, when an error made by Bob required a second marriage ..... not good ..... Another performing accident (Bob again) the following year with wife Betty #2 required a third marriage ..... very not good.
Twin Buffie (child of Betty #2)* along with her twin sister Bambie (child of Betty #3)** performed the family friendly daytime act SNAKES ON SKATES. At night the twins worked the 'adult area' of the carnival performing SNAKES ON POLES. Better money.
Bubba (child of Betty #1)*** now with a large collection of lizards went on to open the roadside attraction REPTILE GARDENS just outside PORCUPINE GULCH AMUSEMENT PARK in Fremont, and became the sole supplier of the family's reptilian needs.
The story continues ....... Bob did it again****. The twins continued on. Bubba kept collecting lizards. With wife #4 now in pieces and with no more Bettys available, Bob had to give up the act. Staying with CARNIVALE, he changed his name from BOB THE BUTCHER to OMAR - ELEPHANT MASTER, and took over the Dwarf Elephant attraction. OMAR, with his butchering skills got the meat supply contract with CARNIVALE'S food service dept.*****
All is well, CARNIVALE is headed down the tracks......True story.........................................................True
*Asterisks............See Appendix
Appendix
*Buffie and **Bambie are twins, because both Bettys #2 and #3 are also twins, go figure …......................................................................................................................................................... True
***Bubba still likes to collect lizards ....................,....................................................................... Also
True****Go back to the RAIL CAR #52 photo and note Butcher Bob's shoes to see why his aim never improved ….... not too bright, but True*****Dwarf elephants were a scam. Just newborns. Which brings to question his meat supply business...... .Just not right, but True*****No wrongful death charges were made against Bob for the deaths of wives #1, #2, #3 and #4 as they were considered as employees at the time of their dismemberments. As employees' they were awarded severance pay.
