 Went up to White Plains, New York to see the Royal Hanneford Circus last Sat (Feb 17, 2007) at the Westchester County Center. Nice size arena. It was a thrill!! And especially to see Tino Wallenda and troop head across the wire close-up!! Spoke with Joe Frisco III briefly during his working the elephant rides. (Photo attached) The gentleman with him presented the 3 elephants. Two of the names are Suzie and Betsy. Didn't get the 3rd. I mentioned your blog and he said you would probably know the elephants. And.. a shot in performance ..with a great sit!! You're welcome to use the photos as you wish. Have my ticket for opening night at Madison Square Garden (as usual) of the Ringling Red show. And.. will be meeting (as usual) the elephants as they come out of the Mid-town tunnel around 1 o'clock AM. a couple days earlier. From the mpeg video on the Ringling site it seems it's pretty much the same show I saw last year in Grand Rapids. Same cats, same double-canon, same elephants, same wire walkers. Wonder if Sacra and Karin Houcke are back. I think I can take a break from the Windy City acrobats.. jump rope and all. I also need a Bella-break... Many thanks... and regards.. K.

I think that should be "Becky" rather than "Betsy".
I was told that Struppi introduced some more colors into their production. This ring mat confirms it! Very nice. cc
Nice looking headpiece
are they like that for the whole C&B herd ?
The whole C&B Herd wears those. With the exception of the ones on the main show. There's proudly proclaim C B.
