GEORGE CARDEN CIRCUS WINTERQUARTERS 1994, FROM BILL PRICKETT


On April 14, 1994, my wife and I visited the georgous winter quarters of GEORGE CARDEN CIRCUS, outside of Springfield, Mo. The show was on the road, but Mike Fallin, Albert "Shorty" Sharp, and Regina Bowen, showed us around and allowed me to take photos. This is the most beautiful winter quarters I have ever seen, and a real credit to the circus industry.
