USA - Traveling Circus Carson and Barnes

Getting ready for the performance. For over 70 years the Carson and Barnes Circus has been roaming the United States giving three ring performances under the big top tent. From March to November the circus moves from town to town, mostly in rural areas where live entertainment can be scarce, every twenty-four hours, 7 days a week. The circus transports its employees in cars, trucks, trailers and RVs. The one day events allow rural communities the possibility of experiencing this type of full-fledged family entertainment. | Location: Iowa Falls, Iowa, United States.
