Carson & Barnes 2009 #1 (From Erik Jaeger)

Buckles,
I spent last week in Texas with Carson & Barnes, lending a hand with their new big top. The big top is approximately 144 feet wide by 180 feet long (44 meters x 55 meters). Chip Arthurs is handling the show elephants-- Isa, Isla and Kelly; we had a few good jackpot sessions! I thought your readership might enjoy a few photos.
All the best to you and the family,
Erik

A lot different than 70 plus years of push pole tents

I was also thinking the same thing, Ben.

Would hate to be putting that one up in a strong wind - look at all that "sail" area!

This will be a whole new ball game for C&B but full marks for addressing the necessity of moving with the times.
