Meridian, Mississippi Fairgrounds 10/6/67

When Jimmy Cole worked for John Heriott at Baraboo the animals were often booked out after the Museum had closed it's season. Upon arriving at the Meridian Fair they learned that the Beatty Show would play the fairgrounds a few days after the fair ended so they decided to layover and catch the show. Somehow I managed to become aware of this and realized that on this date I would be traveling West to East with the Polack Show and could join the party. We unloaded our elephants near the Baraboo stock. Jimmy took this picture as Rex Williams exited the tent after the elephant act and immortalized on celuloid are the Colonel and myself explaining to him what he did wrong.
