Now wait a minute.

I can go along with "circus" because the tiny town of Nederland turned the 
only news story the town has been known for into a spring festival.  But 
"charlatans" are those out to defraud people, making money by lying to 
people.  I followed this story from the start and *nobody* that I know 
about has tried to make money off packing people in dry ice.

In fact, at one point the town even passed an ordinance against freezing 
people.  (I don't know if it still in effect, but Grandpa Bredo's 
preservation was "grandfathered" in so he would not be thawed out.)
