Don Johnson's big elephants:
"Judy", "Mary" and "Betty"
(the last one leased from D.R.)

Presented by Doug Terranova.

Harry Kingston said...: I got to see both John Pelton and Doug Terranova last week as they both were on Piccidilly Circus here in Beaumont, Texas.
Pelton was staying at his folks fish camp with the Gatti elephants as they had shut down for 3 weeks.
Doug had his truck pulling the circus prop trailer as the show truck was in the shop.
Zack Garden told Doug on the jump into Beaumont we better get to sleep early as Harry will be on the lot early in the morning.
We had lots of jackpots with both guys.

Harry Kingston said...: Buckles,
Yes sir it was but that is Dick Gardens tent unit.
There are two Piccidilly units out on the road today the tent and Zack Gardens indoor unit.
Zack told me that he was closing in Slidell for a few weeks and opening back in Florida.
Be sure and check thefuncircus.com
And click on Florida for dates which ther are many.
Zack said one day up north Feld and Pugh showed up and they all set together and Dick had a tent full.
Dick has a family ticket with all you can eat pizza and that sounds like a great idea.
Dick and Zack has always said fans are welcome on there shows.
I sure was treated nice here in town.
