Forepaugh-Lubin Tent passes resolution, signs commemorative poster.
The first-ever World Circus Day was celebrated around the globe on Saturday, April 17--including Altoona, PA, as part of the Adam Forepaugh-Barry "Grandma" Lubin CFA Tent No. 2's annual Circus Week in Altoona.
The Tent adopted a resolution joining the celebration of the commemoration of World Circus Day by the Federation Mondiale du Cirque. Tent members and performers appearing with the 71st annual Jaffa Shrine Circus also signed a special poster designed for the inaugural commemoration.
During the April 17 banquet of the Tent, prior to the evening performance of the Hanneford Circus, producer Struppi Hanneford received the "Golden Grandma" Award from Jaffa Shrine Circus President William Troxell. The award, originated by the Forepaugh-Lubin Tent in honor of "Grandma" namesake Barry Lubin, is presented to circus personnel and circus fans for special contributions to the circus world and Tent activities.
The Tent also made a special presentation to Mrs. Hanneford in the form of a plaque congratulating her for outstanding contributions to the tradition of the American Circus. David P. Orr presented the plaque to her on behalf of Tent members.
Hanneford Circus personnel joined Tent members and guests for the banquet, held at Jaffa Shrine Center in Altoona. The evening performance was witnessed by a capacity crowd. After the show, the Forepaugh-Lubin Tent hosted a social for Hanneford personnel.
CFA national president Pat Pagel and CFA president-elect Maxine House were among the circus fans attending this year's activities in Altoona.
