Hi Bob, Thanks for posting these nice photos of the Mills Bros. floats. Ringling could sure use some of these nowadays. In 1964, the Ringling spec was "Welcome to the World's Fair". It was a tribute to the 1964-65 New York City Worlds Fair. They had a float very similar to this whale float. What that had to do with the fair is beyond me. Thanks again for the photos. Dom
Here are some of the spec floats from the Mills Bros. Circus 1962 season. My dad took the pictures.

Am an old Mills gal from the '64 season, and enjoy these pictures (and your wonderful blog) so much!
