Old Milwaukee Days
1968 became a legend in the Parade Historical Archives. This brochure like all the others contained the parade route. The train rolled to Milwaukee. The showgrounds were all set-up and the festivities were underway. However, civil unrest made the likelihood of spooked horses and other calamity's a very real possibility and the Parade never rolled through Milwaukee this year.
I performed from 1973 to 1995 with a couple years off in between. I did an aerial cradle act for three years, low wire as a clown, trained llamas, ponies, then lions and tigers for 15 years. I am now a firefighter, a member of the Circus Historical Society and an author of several circus and carnival related subjects.
