Big Apple Circus 1983

This was the new Marquee/Office trailer in 1983 built by Jules Catarzi as seen in Pittsfield, Ma. I remember D.R. Miller previously had an entranceway identical to this but the opening in the center was much wider. He then built three midway concession stands, mounted on wheels that were carried in the open area like cross cages on a flat car. I thought the idea was teriffic as it made a nice appearance out front and the trailers were equipped with water tanks, etc. and raised up out of the mud which solved many demands made by local Health Depts. Yet when I later visited the Mills Show and the subject came up, Jake Mills said "Never invite the public to go up and down ramps or steps. Keep them on the ground as much as possible or you are begging for law suits".
