Claude "Slivers" Madison #4

Col. Woodcock, Slivers and Jo Madison, Jean and Terrell Jacobs at the Detroit State Fair in 1953. We and Mr. Jacobs presented our acts in front of the grandstand while the Tom Packs elephants appeared on the midway in a show called "Powerama" by a company that manufactured heavy construction equipment.

Does anyone have some background on the "Powerama" show. I recall seeing the show on the lakefront near the Soldier Field parking lot in Chicago around 1953 (I was in jr. high). The parking lot was full of exhibits like a huge fair exhibit. I remember elephants in the grandstand show and the Kimris worked from a large crane.
