Arthur Bros. Circus 1945


Just as I was about to take up bird watching as a hobby, Shannon tried something different. I have to type in a code like the CIA, so far so good. For your patience here is a photo of the show on a lot in California in 1945, tho now on rails, it looks to be the same size top as the year before. If you will scroll down you can see I completed yesterday's text.

Yup, the "charging tiger" ticket wagon pictured is the unit at Baraboo. It is of Hagenbeck-Wallace heritage and had many different decoration schemes on that show prior to its one season on Arthur. Bandwagon has had a couple of articles on this particular wagon's history over the years.
