THE BALLOON MAN

ALAIN ZERBINI CIRCUS
GOODFIELD, IL

JUNE 20, 1998 & JULY 24, 1999 FROM: BILL PICKETT

While talking with the owner of Yogi Bear Campground, Goodfield, IL,(where we had parked our trailer for the summer) He asked if I could think of any attractions to add to the monthly "special events" I suggested a circus and he liked the idea! I provided him with contacts. And he booked the Alain Zerbini Circus for June 20, 1998. It seemed that the entire campground turned out for the event as well as people from the surrounding towns.The 1998 enagement was so successful that the owner of Yogi Bear Camground booked the show for a return engagement on July 24, 1999. So these pictures contain some from both years.
