A PROPER CIRCUS HAS ELEPHANTS AND A TRAIN.

So we maintain, and so we model.

In Wisconsin, the pachyderms still perform, and Carden International Circus performed for the Zor Shrine Circus in Janesville.

Before the show begins, the cast help out with face-painting, and children of all ages go for elephant rides.  The weather was favorable for an outdoor show, here using the grandstand of the Rock County 4-H Fairgrounds, in a residential neighborhood of Janesville.

Children of all ages also had an opportunity to ride a miniature circus train.  One makes do with what one has.

The liberty horse act is a common feature of the circus, and one might expect a circus with family ties to the Hannefords to include one.  They did, but with six Bactrian camels.  There were two dromedaries along as well, for rides before the show and at intermission.

Before intermission came the elephants.

After intermission, it was time for the buffalo to roam.

You'll see the Globe of Death which features three orbiting motorcyclists as the closing act, which took place at twilight.

Find yourself a circus and go to it.
