MIKE NAUGHTON ELECTED PRESIDENT OF SHOWFOLKS OF SARASOTA CIRCUS FANS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, TENT #122 Sarasota, FL,

April 6, 2011 – Veteran circus producer Mike Naughton has been elected president of The Showfolks of Sarasota Circus Fans Association, Tent #122, one of the most active groups in the nationwide fans’ organization.

He succeeds Ron Edry in the president’s chair.

Well-known in the circus industry for his Yankee Doodle Circus, now in its 27th year, Naughton has also produced countless circus-themed private parties and celebrations. In addition, he regularly provides circus acts to fairs, thrill shows and other events.

Currently, Naughton is business manager for The Medeiros Troupe, a featured attraction in a unit of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey.

Based for many years in New York State, Naughton relocated his headquarters to Sarasota in the summer of 2009. “I enjoy living and working in Sarasota where circus is a part of almost everybody’s life,” Naughton commented. “It’s an honor to take this role with such a vibrant and active CFA tent.

I look forward to close collaboration with each and every Tent member to assure the organization’s bright, exciting future.”
