CAVALCADE of CARTOON CIRCUS STARS was a second unit fielded by Gopher (John) Davenport. I visited this show in Indian River,Michigan, 7-16-1996, and Albertville, Minnesota, 8-21-1996. I believe the show only lasted about four months. It was staffed by personnel
from King Royal Circus and some additional help from other family members of the cast. Walt and Millie Stimax were in charge
and Ben Davenport, ran the office and presented the two elephants. The blue and white top is a MESH material (not waterproof) and the
side walls were standard canvas. The MESH top was supported in the center by standard aluminum poles and 2x4's supported the outer
edges. The physical equipment came from King Royal Circus. The poster was designed by Pat Davidson,1995. All photos Bill Prickett
