Circus World Museum

On the way from Wisconsin to Iowa we made a stop at the "Circus World Museum." Along with the museums full of old circus stuff, they all preformed shows throughout the afternoon that we were there. Some of them bordered on creepy, but the actual circus which took place as the last part of the day, was pretty cool. It was in a small pavilion, with about 7 rows of bleachers surrounding the ring, so no matter where you sat, you were super close... and it wasn't crowded. While I have always liked the circus enough to go to it, it was a lot more impressive to watch a girl ride on an elephant's trunk when the elephant is towering over you in the second row of a tiny building. We don't have any pictures from the actual preformances, since that would have been against the very stringent copyright restrictions, but here a few shots from the really old props that we did get to see.
