I'm glad to see the attendant has a cheery smile and wave.
I always did!

Attention Fans and Friends of the Circus -

Bill Shanks (Santa) is part of the helpful Group Sales Department at Feld Entertainment.
If you are in need of good seats and like to save money, I suggest that you drop Mr. Shanks a note at BShanks@FeldGroupSales.com.

Book far enough ahead for best choice of your favorite seating section. I know he handles Florida and I am sure he can put you in touch with the right person for the rest of the glorious USA.

2010 is a great year to see the units.
Flying Caceres return to the Blue.
The Miser, The Olates and Hans Klose on the Red.
Heidi Herriott on the Gold.

Cassidy Herriott Koch, 16, makes her big time debut on the Gold marking the Herriott Family's milestone of 3 generations associated with RBBB. Look for the pretty blonde teen that is bursting with happiness; she's on the web in opening, glamorizing the elephants and of course backing up the ring during her mom's presentation of horses.

Stimulate the economy, buy a ticket to the circus (any circus).

Thank`s Mike, I`ve gotta a bunch of Fan`s and Model Builders from around this area coming here to Columbia, South Carolina on Feb 6th, to catch the Red unit. I`ll send him a note in a week or two when I get a head count. We are very lucky to have the chance to see two circuses here that day as Hanneford will be playing the Jamil Shrine Circus on the same weekend. We`re catching the Shrine show at 10:00 AM and the RBBB show in the afternoon. Going to be a great day for circus lovers !

Yes she was in my act in 1994-95.
Siam, Minnie, Mysore, Kernaudi and Karen.
A good worker but she could get a bit fresh.

Buckles,
And athletic too. In 86-87 she did a tap dance on one of the grooms going in for spec at the Boston Gardens. Kicked him along for 25 feet, and never dropped tail once.
