& Bames Circus still gels around
in caravan style. The first of some
80 trucks and other vehicles will
arrive soon after dawn and they
will continue to roll in through
much of the morning as the circus
city sets up its many tents and
attractions.
Elephants still help hoist the big
top. More than 1 (X) metal poles of
varying length support the massive
and each pole is pulled into place
by one of die lumbering elephants.
Other trucks carrying the more
than 100 exotic and domestic
animals will arrive and empty dicir
cargo. Everyone is invited to see
the beasts watered and fed circus
morning. Carson & Barnes has
more species on exhibit than any
other circus in the US, and (he
circus zoo includes a giraffe, rare
white rhino, hippo, wallabies, zebu
and many others.
"We get a big thrill from having
the public watch us sc! up," says
Dr. Miller, circus owner. "I don’t
remember much about the first
circus performance 1 ever saw, but
still vivid in my memory are the
sights and sounds of them erecting
the big tent and unloading the
animals."
All this is preliminary to the big
show. Carson & Barnes says tins is
the biggest and most spectacular
show in over ^>5 years. While
maintaining its international
reputation for top-notch animal
acts, it has added additional world
class human acts for this spectacu-
lar 5-ring production.
