Flatcar # 20
My dad took this photo in 1963 shortly after these flats had been installed on the grounds. You can just barely make out the title of Bill Hames Shows. The Hames family had donated several circus wagons and these two Mt. Vernon flats to the Circus World Museum.
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.
