Those were the days when the America was fired up and gave a couple concerts each and every day. Today is the final day for the live performances at Circus World Museum. Pack up the kids and get over there while you still can. Starting tomorrow, the Museum will remain open with reduced hours from 10 AM until 4 PM. There just isn't any live shows anymore.I might add on a personal note, that today is also Rob Richards last day at the CWM. Rob has been handling the Librarian duties quite admirably and has become quite well versed on the Museum's Library holdings. He has been a great help to me and I hope I was able to help him as well. By best wishes to Rob and his family.
On a more professional note, The CWM Board has secured a rather large gift from a local donor that will allow the hiring of a fulltime archivist again. This continues the committment to keep the Library open, functional and available to one and all. Applicants can view the qualifications on the CWM website at http://circusworld.wisconsinhistory.org/pdfs/LibrarianArchivist2010.pdf

How did Chappie and Mr. Kelly ( forgot his first name ) get all that stuff ----- just look at the posters on the wall ---- God bless Chappie , and all those who helped him in those early years
Dear Bob-
Just returned from the close of the CWM Performing Season yesterday. I've attended every opening/closing day up there since 1963. It's always kind of a sad day with everything getting put away for the season yet it's also a happy time to get together with friends and talk about the "good old days" and speculate on the year to come. CWM hosted a light buffet before the final performance for "special" friends. We once again bid "beverage tender" Rob Richards adieu and wished him good luck on his new career and CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of his new child.
