For some reason this show was produced by the Grand Ol Oprey people from Nashville and called "The Day The Circus Came To Town" the premise of which revolved around a little girl who didn't have enough money see the circus.

How long was this show performed? I started at the park in July 1977 and it was a more traditional circus performance. Was it's short run (by theme park standards) because the Felds didn't like it or some other issue?
We pulled out of there on Nov. 26 but I don't recall just when the story line was dropped.
I don't think much of the dates posted on each end. They don't even give the weekday- a must in all circus billing.
The "some reason" was that Mattel
had taken control of the park out
of their frustration over their
misunderstanding of arrangements
in the "purchase" of "The Show"
Some of that had to do with what
was not included & "show control"
The Feld's had an ironbound deal
& the benefits were tremendous
for them & for the shows
That's what you get Dave when you
have noncircus folks doing circus
The silly dates were the least of
the issues with the production
I have in my files an analytical
survey of the many discrepancies
done when Irvin was asked to help
I was part of the contingent sent
to fix & patch with little moolah
