 Buckles: Another Expo67 photo this of Winkie and me. I believe she came from the Brookfield Zoo, and may have been trained by Smokey (not sure). She was sold to International Animal Exchange and was sent to a park in Japan. At expo we started elephant and camel rides at 09:00 and finished around 10:00 pm. Sharp eyed readers will note in the background one of Gene's hand painted "Zebras" take a white mule, clip tail and mane add a little hair dye and away you go. Toby Styles  |

Bobby Gibbs presented his "Siberian Zebra Fantasy" liberty act in the late 1960s into the 70s. These too were white mules done up with a little Lady Clarol to look like zebras. Depending on the artist and the time involved, they could look pretty good.
The ride pictured resembles Bobby's elephant ride; no howdah, just pile the kids on.
Today, 29 April, would have been Bobby's 68th birthday.
