Movie: Curly Dekle, Whip Artist

As a young man on the Florida range, Curly Dekle could crack his 10 foot whip and pop a horsefly from a cow's rump without touching the cow. Mr. Dekle was filmed at Cracker Country, a collection of turn-of-the-century buildings set up on the fairgrounds in Tampa as a pioneer town. He also has entertained at the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs for over 40 years.
