Don`t know the place or date, but it`s not Royal American because I don`t see the light towers. I believe it`s Cetlin & Wilson Shows. If you see the wagon at the end of the second row of game joints yu`ll see what looks like the Cetlin & Wilson rounded end office wagon on the corner, Also, the wagon at the right center looks like the twin charging tigers that C&W had painted on on of their wagons.

I believe I have pictures of both of those wagans and will send them to you.

Enlarging the picture & looking at it again I do see the light towers they are just not lined in a row like RAS usually did. The front gate also looks like RAS. I do know that RBBB played some dates with Strates Shows also. In the movie GSOE during the tear down scene you can see some Ferris Wheels in the background, these are on Strates in Washington DC. I see some of the other guys are also in agreement that it`s RAS, just not where it`s at.

Harry, I think the Davenport lot was right next to the river. Again I may be wrong, that`s why I love to hear the right answers from the others cause I learn something new everytime.
