109th Edition as a 2nd year show

was on "The Rodeo Route"

The building in Fayetteville

was the smallest on the tour

Much storage outside in tents

& a very difficult hippodrome

track to maneuver the floats

Great military family business

Ft Bragg is a tremendous base

The Armory in DC is a terrible

building in a bad neighborhood

Lloyd Morgan Jr was held up at

gunpoint as he was leaving in

his car to run errands

Chic Silber said...


The high windows in each end

meant that the matinees looked

terrible without light control

Chic Silber said...


The Armory was where Ringling

played in the spring of 1974

when Abe Polen's Circus America

opened his new Capitol Center

with 5 rings of everything &

7 Nock & Bauer swaypoles

Dorton at the Raleigh Fairgrounds

also had tremendous high windows

that prevented light control for

the matinee performances but it

was a very nice building
