John Wixom Menagerie
By the late 1940's early 1950's, the John Wixom owned Wixom Rodeo and Circus Combined Show had been reduced to a mere travelling menagerie carrying 7 lions and other caged animals and livestock.
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.
