I should imagine the Elephant Farm will soon become property of some Zoological Society.
Alas! the old adage: A circus without an elephant is a Review..... A zoo without an elephant, a Roadside Attraction..... |

HI Buckles. Here's a story about Tichi, Gunther, and me. I hope you enojoy it.

The artsy fartsy design on the
ring curb section tells a story
The Polk City joint might just
get leased to the Busch Garden
folks but remain a Feld property
Irvin would have never caved &
is now nearing mainland China
Many related cost savings include
the train cars & their upkeep &
track mileage to say nothing of
the folks in that department
My favorite roadside attraction
was the late Bobby Snowden's
"Chico's Monkey Farm" on the road
South in Richmond Hill Georgia
How long do you think it will be before they "drop the other shoe" and announce that they will no longer be offering wild animal acts.
Perhaps Glenn Sullivan can speak
to his Zoo board of directors to
make a deal to operate Polk City
as "Taronga Of Central Florida"
Chic,
I was hearing from Harold Barnes and he told me his brother in law Bob Snowden was in town with his Last supper in wax at our local Mall.
Well never passing on meeting a circus pro I went out to see them.
Bob had one jack pot right after the another and What stories including Chico's.
Lucy was a real piece of work but she did call me to tell me that Bob had a heart attack here in town and that Frank Pealer was loading it up so I went out and helped Frank load.
And I did not know that Frank was a Dedrisky as I met Frank on Vargas.
What I found out later Bob was in on the talks about two Beatty units way before Ringling ever did it.
Just think an East coast and West Coast Beatty circus. It would have been something if they pulled it off.
Harry in Texas
