Greetings Circus Fans & Model Builders,
Mark down February 6, 2010 on your calendars for a "BIG CIRCUS DAY" in Columbia, SC. As we have done in the past we will attend the Royal Hannerford Circus at The Jamil Shrine Center for the 10:00 show that morning.
Now here`s the "Great News", The Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Red Unit is also playing Columbia that weekend, how often does this happen, especially here in the south. I can only remember one other time. We can see Hannerford in the morning and then catch the afternoon Ringling Show after a lunch gathering, how can you pass up the opportunity to see 2 major circuses in 1 day, and both shows are within 8 miles of each other
Then, if you are still in need of a "Circus Fix" you are all welcome to join together at my home for more "Cutting up Jackpots" looking at photos, films or showing of models or anything of interest you may have,You are also encouraged to bring items to sale or trade. Please feel free to pass this along to any other fan or friend that you may know that would like to attend.
You can contact me at 803-776-1677 or hguyon@aol.com for more information and how to purchase tickets and names of area hotels. Hope to see you all on February 6th.
Hal Guyon

When the Kelly-Miller rolls into town, the lot on which the Big Top will be erected is already marked off to indicate where the big tent, the pony rides, the animals and the cookhouse will be placed. Members of the caravan then waste no time unfolding the tent and beginning to set up for that day's shows. (Herald Photo by Jo Ann Hustis)Morris Ill. 10/1/09
On the Cirque website, the show is described as: a harmonious fusion of dance, acrobatics and live music. 
Do you recognize any of these folks?
I do know that the Gentleman on the left is H.T. Hunt, Sr.
The Pink and the yellow Tickets were sold by Phone Promoters.
