Dick Sparrow
In 1973, Dick Sparrow and the 40 horse hitch was returning from the Washington DC Cherry Blossom festival when they laid over at the George Harkness farm near Sandusky, Ohio. I lived just around the corner from the farm.
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.
