John Zwiffel's (sp?) wagon. Got to work on the restoration when it came to CWM for a few years.

Where did it end up Richard

The Two Hemispheres Wagon

Went back to John, along with his model circus that was in the ring barn practically since the opening of the museum. There seemed to be a breakdown of a number of long term relationships after Greg Parkinson left. I don't know what John did with it. I know he had a price on it and was shopping it around. The price was too high for CWM.

Peter Gorman of Vancouver purchased the Hemisphere and it along with his other wagons that came from Circus World by way of Allen Hill are on loan to the Museum in Peru. The wagon has been on tour going to D.C., Indian State Fair, etc p.j.

Sorry Bob I did not know it was in French Lick/West Baden for the winter.

French Lick home of Larry Bird.

One of the trio of Mugivan, Ballard, and Bowers was from French Lick, as I recall. They wintered one of their shows in West Baden for a couple of years.

Larry Bird was known as the Hick from French Lick.
