There wouldn't be a lot big enough to even hold this show anymore. cc
No small irony that the these days the biggest bigtop in the world wouldn't hold the animals, and the sideshow top would have had plenty of room some modern circuses.
Those rocks in the ground may suggest that the show was playing the "Ontario dome." No, this wasn't an indoor venue, but a geological formation. Google it or call Al Stencell.
I think that Bob Good may have sold a photo of the Ringling Great Britain tableau traversing the Ontraio dome, with similar rocks to be seen.
Credit the Sage of Seattle with such wonderful knowledge.
I bet that the 24 hour man had a hell of a job putting it on this lot.
