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.
