The dazzling world of Bill Picozzi was shaped by a high-flying acrobatic family, exposure to larger-than-life champions, and inclusion in a jet-setting lifestyle that few people can imagine. But to Bill, it was all in a day’s work.

Over the course of an incredible 50-year saga, Bill was actively engaged as a promoter in the entertainment industry in the Charleston, West Virginia, region. He credits his success to his beginnings in his grandfather’s famous carnival business. The lessons he learned as part of the world-famous Latlip Carnival shaped his outlook on life and led him to a career as a consultant and confidante to scores of the world’s most notable personalities.

Throughout the years, he rubbed shoulders with and befriended sports, entertainment, and political elites. He owned entertainment venues that attracted a card-carrying clientele. He produced over-the-top shows, concerts, and events that thrilled tens of thousands of wide-eyed spectators. He even took a gamble on sports franchises, hoping to bring more family-friendly amusement to his region.

To his credit, and through his insight, Bill maintained an original photo and news clipping library of his lifelong engagements. This book is filled with vivid first-person accounts and memories behind these awe-inspiring encounters.

Strap yourself in and get ready for a great read. Like so many other over-the-top events, this memoir is another Bill Picozzi production.
