#9 Big Apple!

"Peggy" another Big Apple regular!
Originally imported in 1963 by Circus World Museum, trained by John Herriott and in 1972 sold to RBBB along with the 12 Pony Liberty Act.
Ten years later while visiting the Red Show I was offered a free elephant and being within my price range gladly took her and upon my retirement donated her to the Riddle Sanctuary!

I believe Peggy was a St. Louis Zoo children's zoo elephant (where her name was either Florence or Pearl). At the end of the season both elephants were picked-up by Tony Smaha Sr. for CWM.
