C &B #5How true it was. In the old days a circus showed on any lot they could find, even a farmers field.  The greater majority of them were not nice as they were dirty and dusty. We took it for granted and did what we had to do to get the show ready. Thanks to a good big top crew and performers, the lot became a show place. One of our prayers were…. ” Please God don’t let it rain” as taking down a big top in mud is a task. Then because of the mud being pulled off the lot by elephant or tractor, it takes hours.  If we got lucky we might have a grass lot at the next spot.
