Ringling Theme Park 1977

For some long forgotten reason, we did a parade thru the park, this is one of the little wagons that we unloaded off the train during the performance of "The Day the Circus came to town". As mentioned, this show was put together by the Grand Old Opry people out of Nashville and had a story line but much more elaborate then the one seen today with the "Incredible Shrinking Show". For some reason, at the time both Irvin and Kenneth Feld despised the idea, today it is revolutionary. Seen at right leading "Peggy" is Gary H. and riding is the "little girl" in the story having been transformed from being local moppet. Gary, isn't this the alternate? What was her name? And finally, partially hidden behind the wagon at left and working the hand brake, our friend and contributor Bud C. By the way I received an eMail from Ellie Potts yesterday whom you may remember was a dancer in this show. She said she came across my Blog Site purely by accident and sends greetings to all.
