Ringling Bros Circus--Greensboro, N. Carolina

There is still nothing else even close to this in the world circus. The exception being Tim Frisco's display once a year in Evansville.

Again superb condition. Anybody who has been around for a long time, who does not appreciate the level the husbandry on some show's has advance, is truly blind and closed minded.

Back in the day there were weekly weigh in's for the dancers overseen by Field Marshal Herr Baumann. Those two ladies on the left would have been released about 25 pounds ago, 25 years ago. Another indicator of a falling standard even on the Greatest Show on Earth?



This every other elephant with a blanket is something I thought I would never see.
