From Buckles #1


This is the 1975 herd and the center ring act would be among the elephants at the bottom of the list.

Wasn't Siam the lead & the payoff

elephant during those years

Karen was indeed named for Irvin's

daughter before things went South

I remember at the Circus World Florida that Siam was the payoff and lead. Would have been after Thanksgiving 77 when we traded herds.

What do you mean by "the payoff" elephant? Is the lead elephant always the same elephant in the herd?

At the end of many "Production"

numbers like Spec the last thing

you see is called the "Payoff"

It's not always an elephant but

most often is on Big Bertha

It could also be a themed float

Perhaps Buckles can tell us if

the lead always stays the same

I've known different leads on

some herds on shows I've worked

No doubt about the lead & payoff

for the 78 - 79 Blue seasons
