Talk about "Holy Big Tops!
I beleive Hoxie owned this show. Circus Fans correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi Dick,
Here are two more pix I located on my hard drive. They were scanned from 35mm slides and aren't as large as some of the digital items I've been sending. They show FISHER BROS. setup on a vacant lot on the main street of downtown Mackinaw City, MI.
I only obtained two pix because I had just arrived in Mackinaw City, on a day in July, 1976. After snapping these fotos, I had to drive to my summer home and unload the car. Then, guests came and stayed the evening. During that time we had a terrific rain and wind storm. I don't know how the circus escaped a blow down. I do know that my barber, who attended the show with his daughter, said that they had to keep moving to different areas to avoid leaks from above.

GUESS: Only a guess without checking my circus history...But, is the show a Silverlake show out of IN or Oh? Don't think a Hoxie operation.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, it is a Siverlake Show. I do believe by the time, the tent was in this condition, the show was being run by Johnny Fraiser.
