CHS Convention in Cincinnati
As the first day of events began, we were gretted at the Cincinnati Art Museum by the Curator of prints, Kristin Spangenberg. The Art Museum has created the best photo journal of Circus Lithography ever produced. For the small price of $30.00 in the gift shop, you'll have a lasting legacy and an amazing historical guide.

Bob, Thanks for keeping those of us who can't make it informed. Very nice pictures. Thanks again. Bob Kitto
The Cole Bros. Circus documentary, "Tearing Down the Tent" is now available for download on Amazon.com.
This documentary grants viewers a backstage pass to one of the largest traveling tent circuses in the world, the Cole Bros. Circus, based in DeLand, Florida.
The film presents the circus through the eyes of Jamie Reel as he visits the circus for the first time with director, Michael Knox, who grew up traveling with the circus.
During the filming, Knox reflects on his days with the Cole Bros. Circus, as Reel gets to experience circus life first hand. Through Reel's adventures we see a behind the scenes look at the circus life, with Reel standing in the Moto-Globe of Death with a motorcycle racing around his head, working as a clown, riding an elephant and working with the camels.
Through this journey we try to explore the real story behind one of America's most beloved past times.
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.
