THE BALLOON MAN

ZERBINI FAMILY CIRCUS

Yesterday I had a Doctor's appointment at 1:10pm.
So after that I decided to ride down to Spence's Bazaar, which is
right in Downtown Dover.
I was hoping to find someone around the lot to talk to.
The only person I saw with the show was a gentleman that appeared to be
a working man. I had to take these from inside the car.
I asked him to come over but he cussed me out before I could explain to
him what I wanted!
He seemed to be worried that I might have taken his picture.
So I took what pictures I could.
Today the show moved to Rock Hall, MD. about a 40 mile jump from here.

They are playing some more dates in the area next week.
Maybe I'll get a chance to try again!

I should have know better as that time frame I know, from experience,
that most showfolk are napping!
Especially since they were tearing down last night.

I'm sorry, but at least I got these pictures!

There wasn't much advertising at all ahead of the show.
And nothing on show days!
I only saw a small community events notice in one of the local weekly papers.
I'll have to ask around and see how attendence was.
I did have a few locals ask me if I knew what time the shows were.

 

I beleive this is Alain Z erbini's Motor coach.
