Hey everyone, if anyone is left....... I am sorry I dropped the blog but, I ran out of pictures of things. I had hoped to find enough through the summer to sustain through the year, but no. I am going to give the blog another go and the new poll is up. Pictures are going to be limited and will also include pictures of carnivals, fairs, amusement parks, etc As well as circuses and circus animals. I will also be including tidbits of info that i feel comfortable posting with ruining trust with my respect friends and collegues in the circus and carnival industry. I will not be updating every day, but hopefully every few. I will also be adding some new features that I am trying out for a new daily blog coming March of 2009, entitled RouteBlog.

For those of you who were told I would be relaunching on Sept. 15th, I apoligize!

The winner of the 'Favorite cat act' Poll goes to Adam Burck. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but Adam has worked his Hawthorn cat act since 2006. Spending the Spring with Hamid, summer and early fall with Carden, then back to Hamid, I think. Sprinkle in a bit of Migley, Hanneford, Coronas, you have Adam's seasons. His father is former Ringling and Evansville headliner Wade Burck. His mother is Margaret Duke.
