PHILLS BROS CIRCUS (Fred Hoffman Pics)
These pictures were taken by Fred in southeastern PA
in 1990 season
Show was owned by Mr and Mrs Bill Phillips, New Jersey Showmen
Hi. This is Michael, William, Alan, and Ruthie Miller. William and I performed in the last show of the Phills Brother Circus as young jugglers. Some of the other performers were Patty Black, Trey?, Carl Reed, Charlie Van Bushkirk, Bill Phillips as a magician, as far as we remember. We think it was around August 18, 1995. If anyone has pictures or videos of the last Saturday night show, please contact us at whm24@drexel.edu or ramiller123@verizon.net. May all your days be Phills Brothers circus days!
