CWM Gift Shop
There was a time when the Gift Shop at the Circus World Museum was also down on the main show grounds. Here we find the former railroad baggage car completely re-painted and turned into the All-American Circus Souvenior Store and Gift shop. This was in 1964 or 1967. I can't make out the writing on the slide.
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.
