Oh NO Wytrayah, That was what I meant about the smaller circuses. You would NOT believe it. They have a huge big top with three acts going at the same time and clowns too. Usually, they come in early in the morning, (depending on where their last gig was). They come by car, wagons pulled by trucks, campers, one or two semi rigs, and they set up in no time at all. Sometimes they get a matinee AND a night show in. Then everyone leaves and the FUN begins! Boy to see those men move those elephants around, and the elephants know their jobs. They know JUST how to take the huge tent poles down without dropping them. EVERYONE knows their jobs and they all do them very rapidly. In about two hours...very hard to believe, but I have seen it many times............they are GONE. There is even a clean up crew that leaves the grounds almost spotless. Of course, I love the acts part also. Even small circuses have good acts....especially if you have never seen a Ringling or one like that! Tell me where you live. I will find you a circus close by this year. I will ask my Friend in Sarasota with Ringling. If you live up north, hope they haven't been near you already.......they head back south when it gets cold. Let me know, now
And thanks For my welcome. I have posted on one or two of yours. I only really have about 7 or 8 folks who talk to me. I think I scare them off....too wordy, LOL...........can't help it, I am a writer.....things just come out! KPKEITH I will find you a circus. Can't believe you haven't seen one. There is NOTHING like the atmosphere of a circus! By the way, I am in Hillbilly country....not a store in 20 miles in any direction. Went to a circus in a small town about 3 years ago.....stayed until the last rig left!
