Adela "Ada" came from Poland with

her husband Klaudiusz "Klaus" Blaszak

who is shown below in "Lions #5"

They framed & presented a darling

1 ring tenter in the Summer of 77

titled "Stardust Circus" but was

sadly very short lived

I designed & built much of the

rigging lighting & audio equipment

& thoroughly enjoyed the short run

That electric lead shows that

this was when those diamonds

actually lit up (on occasion)

Rough handling of ring curb

sections was hard on lighting

Often connecters were ripped
