Sells & Gray Circus - 1970
With all this snow, we need to go back to some grassy lots. Kelly-Miller opens this weekend and they are looking for anything other than mud. We are lucky enough to have been given lots of circus photos to share and they are all labeled. Obviously Jim or I did not take them. The Sells & Gray Circus visited Hartford, Wisconsin on August 6, 1970 when these photos were captured.
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.
