AuraMan
Sixth Annual
AuraMan
CarnyVille
July 25-26, 2009
2008’s Freak Parade was the biggest and the best, so far. Now it’s time to get freaky all day long. At AuraMan 2009, we invite you to show off all your artistic talents and physical phenomena that we know you’ve been hiding deep down inside.
In the early 20th Century, the Carnival and the Circus came to towns across America drawing thousands of people daily to witness the bizarre, fantastic, unusual, outlandish and grotesque Carnival Sideshow Freaks -- nature's anomalies, Extraordinary Dark Obscurities, Human Oddities, Medical Abnormalities, and simple ole “Mistakes”. Each weekend at Sun Aura we see living human curiosities all around the 309 acres that some of us call Home. Here’s our opportunit
y to showcase all of this (and more) in one weekend and in one place --- the Bearded Lady, the 700-pound Man, the Tattooed Dude, the Alien Autopsy, Sword Swallowers, Half Man/Half Woman, Albino Siamese Twins, Palm Readers, Peter Beaters, and Vagina Eaters.
Bizarre entertainment will abound at AuraMan 2009 – on the beach, at the Round House, at the dunes, at the pool, in Tent City, and at your trailer. In addition to the usual and added freakiness, we’ll need Clowns, Acrobats, Balloon 
Twisters, Performance Artists, Circus Performers, Contortionists, Fire Performers, Jugglers, Ventriloquists, Face Painters, Fortune Tellers, Magic Acts, Geeks, Escape Artists, Hermaphrodites, and a Man with 3 Buttocks.
An extravaganza like this isn’t complete without the obligatory Midway, otherwise known as the Beach. Can you imagine this? Lining the shores of our heart-shaped pond -- the usual Fun and Games for all of you children-at-heart. Rides, Colorful Tents, Duck Shooting Galleries, Goldfish in Bowls (leave ‘em in the pond), Funnel Cakes, Elephant Ears, Cotton Candy, Popcorn, Candy Apples, Corn Dogs, Hot Dogs and Chili. Spin the Color
Wheel and Win a Prize, Test Your Strength, Guess Your Weight, Carousels, The Tunnel of Love, Dunk Tanks ---- you get the idea. What was your favorite thing to do at the carnival? The fun and success of AuraMan only happens with your pARTicipation. Which pART of the Midway will you contribute to?
Think 1920’s Coney Island, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Carnival Barkers, Mardi Gras, Freak Shows, Two-Headed Snakes and A Three-Dicked Sheep, Cirque nude Soleil. Prizes for All !!!
Step right up, Ladies and Gentlemen !!!! The theme for AuraMan 2009 (July 25/26) is . . . .
