Giraffes don't have to do very much

They just have to be giraffes

Another great loss to our industry

This was actually Poncho Aguilars show with the rented Atayde name. Incredible show with beautiful setting and staging. A load of amimal's with Ian Garden Sr. providing a multitude of camel and horse liberty act's. Next to Ringling one of the finest show's I have had to pleasure to be involved with. A great family with year's of circus history.

Eventually they had 4 giraffe doing this bit. Children would come out of the seat's, line up, and hold a vanilla wafer in their teeth and the giraffe would reach down and give them a "kiss."

I'd bet they were pricey wafers

(the kiss was free)
