HOWDY, MY NAME IS BILL STRONG, I'LL BE YOUR "24 HOUR MAN", ROUTING YOU INTO THE PAST TO SEE WHAT THE CIRCUS WAS IN DAYS GONE BY. IF YOU'RE LIKE ME, AND MISS WHAT IT USED TO BE, THEN COME ON ALONG AS WE GO DOWN THE ROAD FOLLOWING THE ARROWS BACKWARDS, TO "YESTERDAY'S TOWNS"! IF YOU HAVE CIRCUS RELATED PICTURES YOU WOULD LIKE POSTED, SEND THEM TO,,,,yesterday1@verizon.net,,,,AND WE WILL TRY TO FIT THEM IN. "24 HOUR MAN" WILL HAVE THE FINAL DECISION ON POSTING.
Three years at CWM made me a real traditionalist, and I keep remembering Bob Parkinson saying, "I want the people to see what the circus used to be, not what it is today. That's what this site is about!
These are three of a group of photos I received from Eva Williams this morning, all of these were taken on Circus Vargas in 1982. On top we see Eva & the Tiger riding in spec. Next a beautiful shot of Renee, Eva, & Darlene, and finally Rex working the act from horseback.

A little additional information on the 3 photos. Eva & Tigger are riding on Col. Joe, and Eva's headpiece is by Hedy Jo Star. The beautiful white costumes were designed by Dale Longmire, and made by Hedy Jo Star. In the bottom photo L to R, are Eva Williams on Col. Joe, Vanessa Thomas on Gardner, & Renee Williams on Petely.
And of course Rex is riding "Big Horse"
