Holy Tents!

Scan11300, originally uploaded by bucklesw1. Not only was he a workaholic, but Mr. Franzen HAD to help out. That show consisted of a shoestring budget and the holiest big top in America. Yet, he kept it going with determination and no fear of working the menial jobs. It was a joy to be on any of his lots. It was pure circus without pretense. As far as seeing someone present a cage act and then help tear it down, no, I don't like to see that. But as a practical man, I understand why they do. Dion Dion, Culpepper holds that title...hands down I am sure I watched the holes get put in both of them. I would never compare the RBBB with Franzen Bros. It was what it was. Casey Jim As for holiest big top in America, you can argue who gets the title year after year. Only one reason I attend a circus, THE ANIMALS, the animals, the animals. In that order. If the sun shines on the performing elephant's back, and it's UNDER the big top, I don't much care. LOL Dion Dion, On FBC I once had to use an umbrella to perform the fire eating. On CMC I had to wear shades to paint the top part of the arena,,,,LOL
