Montgomery Bros. Dog & Pony Show


Here we are, parade day again, hard to believe a week has passed already. I never heard of this show before, sure is a nifty little hitch.

The machine failed me again this morning, Shannon assured me problem wasn't on our end. Sure enough it mysteriously started up again this afternoon. Rest assured my composure remained steadfast, bolstered by the Buccaneer victory.

Jenda is who I was commenting on in another post. I just can't seem to remember his name. He was on Ed Sullivan a few times.I met him several times at Baraboo. He got hurt by a cat did he not?
