What's a mudshow? In the early days of the American Circus shows traveled rutted cart tracks through the night to make the next town with their horse drawn parade wagons. Arriving, they washed off the mud and with sparkles and spangles put on a show. Today we travel interstate highways in diesel trucks but circus honors the past by recalling a bit of that clay that stuck to the wheels. We call it a mudshow.
Hello! Been following your blog for a while. Have a question. What is the difference between the Shriners El-Almien circus and a circus like Kelly Miller?
We had a green, rainy, dark and dismal Christmas in SE Michigan. I hope you didn't get completely buried in all that snow I've been seeing on TV newscasts. How about some more posts regarding effective small circus advertising?
I just discovered your blog. I have booked every Culpepper date since 2002, most Kelly Miller dates from 1999-2002 (including the first New York dates] and before that most of the Allen Bros dates. It is good to hear from someone on the show itself. Keep up the good work.

LOVE this midway photo. I believe it's one of the Silverlake family enterprises (i.e. Clark & Walters, Fisher Bros., etc.)
All the best to you and yours this holiday season. Looking forward to seeing you down the road in '10.
