ROYAL RANCH WILD WEST CIRCUS 1974 (FROM RJ REYNOLDS)

Back in 1974 I came across the Royal Wild West Circus set up. Took some pictures but then it rained so I never got to see the show. They did not have a big top, just circled the trucks and did a open air show much like the original wild west shows. RJ Reynolds
The Royal Ranch Wild West & Circus was owned by
Ozzie Schleentz, a Colts Neck, NJ sign painter.
He did a lot of work for Hunt Bros Circus.
The first couple of seasons they did have a big top.
They had a blow down, the year I can't remember,
several people were injured. Ozzie never replaced the top.
