Model Builders Show in Baraboo
One of the great model shows to be in Baraboo this weekend will be the Sparks Circus built in 1/2" scale. I was told that Randy Peterson actually started to build this show many, many years ago but had the opportunity to take his elephants on tour so he left this all with Steve who has spent the last several years revamping, re-building, adding to, and eventually completing the show.
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.
