A
favorite exhibit at Mother Gooseland was Willie the Whale, constructed by volunteer workers from
the Lathing and Plastering Contractors Association of Canton and Massillon. He
was 21 feet long, 9 feet high, 9 feet wide, and weighed a whopping 14,000
pounds. Designers created a lagoon around him by damming the Nimishillen Creek.

The
Main Circus came to Canton on May 7, 1904 and paraded up South Market Avenue. Circus
founder Walter L. Main was a native of northeast Ohio, growing up in Geneva in
Ashtabula County. His circus traveled all over the country, with winter
quarters in his hometown. In 1904, the Main Circus visited Salem before Canton,
and Cleveland, Akron, and Warren afterwards.

Hively, Barb Nicholson, and Betty McCauley stand by a car decorated for the
1961 Massillon-McKinley game. After the departure of the professional teams,
high school football quickly became a major pastime for both communities. Annual
matches between the rival teams has attracted large audiences and captured the
attention of almost everyone in town for nearly a century. Today the annual
Massillon-McKinley game is a nationally-recognized event in high school
football. (Courtesy of Linda Todd.)
