HENDRICKS BROS CIRCUS 1994 OPENING DAY #1
The photographer that took these fotos Labled them Open Day 1994
If it is it's the very first day! Show Producer & Owner Bob Childress
In front of Combo Ticket Office and Concession Trailer.
What ever happened to this equipment, ie tents, seats, etc? I know Phil Dolci (sp?) owned it for awhile, and was suposedly sold at auction at the Anderson, SC fairgrounds auction, a few years ago, along with some Dicky Garden equipment "stored" there. Did it become part of the Gopher Davenport "empire", or did Bob Childress re-take possessition of it? "Enquiring minds want to know"... Pete, the Baraboobian!
