About Me
- Bob Cline
- 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.

Not a bad line up -- I always thought that fairs should be held in the late fall --- prize produce , flowers, apple juice --- not like we do here in God's Country , at the beginning of August --- 3 ferris wheels , huh ?? Just like when Royal American used to set up here --- all lit up at night --- takes your breath away .
Bob, I counted 86 pieces down there, the paper and web site didn`t list all of the inflatable`s, fun house`s, and dark rides. plus there were a couple of kiddie rides not listed on the State Fair web site. It`s probably the most Iv`e every seen and I`ve been going for 60 years .
Amazing! 86 units? It was packed. We never even got over to the shows or Commerford petting Zoo area.
I took about 40 pictures, got some of Commerford,and the Sea Lion Show, I`ll burn you a CD.
Thanks. I saw the Sea Lion show last year at the Big "E". What a nice unit.
