Winter Quarters Activity



The Winter Quarters is full of activity in 1974 at the East Berlin, PA. home of Circus Kirk. The Center Poles are up as a bale ring top but in 1975, this orange and blue striped beauty would be converted to a push pole top.

I was the road manager for the ill-fated HIX BROS.CIRCUS which was the KIRK equipment...When we got the stuff ,we got a blue and white 80 with one 40 and bail rings...

I wanted to convert to push pole but was voted down...it is so much easier...I left in late May ( George Hix and I had vastly different opinions) and after several "managers" Victor Flores took over and finally converted the top to push pole.

Jim, I'm sure you know that Mr. Flores got most of the equipment as back pay.
