I saw it on Facebook.<br /><br />But the website still says "no upcoming events" which is what I went with.<br /><br />And I refuse to think that Big Apple Circus is history.

You need to check Carson and Barnes faceboo...David,<br />You need to check Carson and Barnes facebook page.<br />I am not on facebook but you can take a look as they have the starting date in Hope, Ark and a few more.<br />They never put more than 2 weeks route on when they get started.<br />I still hope there is hope for Cole Bros.<br />I was told Dick Garden owns the King Cole title and they played 5 days.<br />What was a shame to me as there was a video of them coming out of winter quarters and the Cole Bros was painted out on many trucks but they left the large Circus on the trailers.<br />Johnny Pugh, told me that he is 78 and cannot keep going on forever and the show was for sale, but he wants his legacy to go on and so do us fans.<br />I have always enjoyed seeing Johnny's circus and enjoyed visiting with him and getting to take him out to eat.<br />His jackpots are just priceless and what he has been though the years is very interesting.<br />I am hoping for the best for them and time will tell.<br />Harry in Texas<br /><br />Harry Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362053177536772325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-5422734397965826812016-07-28T15:56:27.095-07:002016-07-28T15:56:27.095-07:00Well, Harry, let's pray you are right. NO date...Well, Harry, let's pray you are right. NO dates on their website.<br /><br />I refuse to think that Big Apple is completely gone. They can do without Lincoln Center. They can pitch the tent in other places, like Battery Park, with a smaller band and still produce a stellar program. They need Paul as never before, if he is willing to cut back.<br /><br />As for Johnny Pugh, thank god he apparently did not give up his great title. Another day for him, too?<br /><br />You make a GREAT point about the heat. Who in their right mind would go under a circus tent in such heat!!!<br /><br />Showbiz Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921904778000552196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36845215.post-43571576386640142052016-07-28T09:43:16.449-07:002016-07-28T09:43:16.449-07:00Sure sorry to see a few shows close.
Carson and Ba...Sure sorry to see a few shows close.<br />Carson and Barnes will be back out in august till before election time.<br />Summer is not kind to many shows as like here it is 97 plus 100% humidity and who wants to set in a hot tent.<br />Garden Bros is off for a few but coming out this Fall.<br />Garden played here at an airconditioned building and packed them in and made the nut at the 4;30 show.<br />They have a real good performance and all were pleased with it.<br />Also they are very circus fan friendly and Zack Garden is the best to us and his employees were great to.<br />Sure hope Cole Bros will return one day as this fan really misses it, under the big <br />top.<br />Lets hope the future will be better for our circuses.<br />Harry in Texas<br />Harry Kingstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13362053177536772325noreply@blogger.com
