Outdoor Dates! #1



The classic outdoor circus operation from my West Coast Agent Eric Beheim.
I made my share and always considered them the rock bottom of circus business.
They look OK at night but the matinees in the glaring sun plus the distractions like trying to catch juggling hoops in the wind or the flyer making his return from the catcher and the bar is blown away or even the side wall flapping up and down exposing a glimpse of some little kid peeing on a house trailer's wheel.
Ah! What one does for ones art form.
