3 - 1972
A
good friend of my Fathers named Ron
Sanford came to the NB State Fair.
Ron is a Circus Fan like NO other.
My Father use to call him often. Ron
liked my Father so much he took
picture's of my Fathers Circus when
ever it was close by. Ron was
also a personal friend of D.R.
Miller and family as well. He
is now in his 70's. Ron took
most of these picture's. In
his personal collection he has
picture's I've never seen before.
Ron took photograph from the 1950's
to the 1980's. I have received
permission from him to share his
images with Sideshow World. So
here is some of the "BEST" picture's
ever taken of our Circus.
