Ertl Set
These next two were sent to me by a lady in Iowa. These apparently were prototypes that were made but never produced. Her friend worked at ERTL and they told him if he wanted them, he could have them.

CHS Convention
Please double click this to make it larger. This years CHS convention is going to a real thriller. This will probably be the only time that we will be able to meet and talk to Juan and Miquel Vasquez, Richie Gaona, Tony Steele, Terry Caveratta and Cherie Valentine all at the same place about the flying trapeze.
The Convention is slammed full of events and speakers as well as the Trapeze workshop, films, and filming at the same time. The best part about this is..... ANYONE can attend. The CHS conventions are open to registrations by anyone. So even if you don't belong to the CHS, you can still attend this amazing event. Get this on your calendar now. Go to http://www.circushistory.org/ for the registration form.

Ooops. Looks like this one is on the road and not in quarters.

Here we see the center poles from the old Big Top being used for the Russian Air Force rehearsals in quarters in 1999.

What's left of the truck at the left was Dave Hoover's cat act truck. Dave told me that this was one of the two Beatty cage trucks and that they had to cut the entire cage off due to the urine and rust and just used the trailer to start over with.

Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus ( from Peter Rosa )
Here come the rest of the Rosa Photos of the Beatty-Cole Winter Quarters taken in 1999. We have had some major technical difficulties trying to get Peter's photos from his Mac into my Windows system. So they all took the scenic route to Mr. John Evans in England who was kind enough to forward them back to me in a format that will allow all of you to enjoy them. There will be plenty more photos coming during the next few days.

Chipperfield Circus ( From John Evans )
Here's a bunch of great pictures from one of the biggest circuses to tour in England, the Chipperfield Circus. Anyone remember the Corgi toys? You can sure see the accuracy in the designs of those toys.
