Cappi's Photos 2089Little Jimmy greeted people at the front gate and did clown skits with Goldie our tramp clown. They made up their own bits with just a little circus flavor. I hope to find a photo of Goldie. Bill Capell bought an old hook and ladder fire truck. It was parked in the front area of the front gate. Jimmy and Goldie used it for one of their gags. I got some old fire coats from the Tempe Fire Dept for their wardrobe. They would start the fire engine and set the siren off. When they got the attention of the crowd, the skit would start. It really was nothing more than the fire house gag, ending up with a bucket of torn bits of paper being thrown into the audience.
