Hodge Podge
Here are a few loose pictures that were in my uncle's scrapbooks. Look at that show front, will ya? That had to be a beast to put up and down.

I remember seeing the Terrell Jacobs Circus on the old World of Mirth Shows as a kid back in the 50`s. I don`t remember any of these old floats being on the show then. Also I`ve never seen any of them with these type wheels. Cole Bros had them with the hard tired carnival wheels in the 40`s.
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.
