From Trish Badgett

I wanted to add my tree to your blog. I really enjoy getting to log on everyday and reading the entries and viewing the pictures. I have never worked for the circus but am truly a hard core fan. My family and I hit every show that comes into our area, but mostly out of our area as we just do not get many shows around here. The last circus we saw was about 80 miles away, Carson and Barnes came to Burlington North Carolina and we loaded up our grandson and spent the day watching the tent go up and generally just hanging out. Everyone was so very nice to us. Randy Peterson even allow our grandson to stand with Kelly and have a picture taken, which was my grandson show and tell at school the next day. Anyway thought I would sent you a picture of our circus Christmas tree. Mostly Ringling things. I am holding onto hope that Kenneth and Nicole will get their senses back and give us a real circus!! Heading to Sarasota in the morning and cannot wait to see the Tibbals miniature circus. Thanks again for the great blog.

I have been told that in ways our Blog is a Thereputic service for those dissatisfied with today's matters Circuswise. Might be something to it since on the CFA Web Site I see I get about eight times as many hits as The Ken & Nicole Incredible Shrinking Show. Have a good time in Sarasota." Buckles
