NOTE TO BLOG VIEWERS (12/27/15): I'm happy to announce that there have been over 43,000 blog viewers and over 500 individual circus personality photos posted on the site over the last two years. The site may be a bit interupted over the next two weeks as I plan to add "American Circus Duos, Groups & Troupes" along with the regular individuals to the site.
Happy New Year to you all and many thanks for your continued viewing.
