This was the second show Gee Gee produced with Dave Jackson(the owner). Dave and Gee Gee became close friends over the years and still stay in touch. The first show was a traditional circus production. At Dave's urging Gee Gee incorporated animals into scripted wild west show. The script was simple. Small town with nice people and animal companions are going about their daily lives when interupted by bad guys riding in to town and robbing bank. The animals come to the rescue and save the day. The show was approximately 45 minutes long and ran 3 or 4 times a day from May thru September. She changed the show several times over the years to incorporate new routines. All training was done at her ranch in Gibsonton, Florida. She and Jody Cragmile supervised the animal routines. Over the years several circus performers became actors such as Dale Longmire, Roger and Pam Zoppe along with many others.; 30 January, 2008 08:21
