BILL PRICKETT VISITS--



THE HAMID SHRINE CIRCUS



ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS, JUNE 5, 2011



PART 1
I spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon, June 5th, attending the Tebala Shrine Circus, Rockford, IL, present by James and Shirley

Hamid. They had help from Belinda (15) , James, the Third, (7) and Haley (2) Hamid. Peter Sturgis was Ring Master and Larry Rothbard

was Musical Director (Keyboard). "Just Larry" (Clark), clown, previously with RBBB, provided enjoyment to all the kids and moms and

dads too. His daughter Addison (6) supervised the clown gags. Irene and Brian Franzen had the Cat act and Elephant act. David

Conners (Shirley's father) worked the Trampline act with granddaughter Belinda (15), grandson James, the third (7), and Julia

Minbva. Jennifer Walker presented her dogs and worked in the cloud swing presentation. I missed the name of the young man that

did the roller act. I probably left someone else out,too.The finale was the Cycletron act. Motorcycle and trapeze artists.This appratues is

usually hung from the ceiling rafters, but due to height limitations, was presented on a raised platform. The crowd, and the Shrine were

thrilled with the show. The Hamid group presente nine shows in three days. All photos Bill Prickett
