It's been 6 years since the Great Circus Parade has crawled up Wisconsin Ave. with muscular draft horses pulling monstrous circus wagons. But this weekend, the Circus is back in town!
Last night I went down to meet one of the Percheron horse teams from PA. Leearon Kline, who will drive the 6 hitch team and wagon, works for my photographer friend, Janet Fulcher, in Fawn Grove, PA. After 2 days on the road, they got the giant horses settled and showed my neighborhood kids what big horses are all about. The kids loved it!
Afterwards, I headed out on the circus grounds to have some fun with night photography. While hanging around the Merry-Go-Round, I ran into the Beck family, some of my great clients! Jordan was having the time of his life riding a pony around and around.
There's something about the Circus and carnival when it comes to town. Warm summer nights, cotton candy, animals to pet and acts to watch. Being out there at night really stretches the day's enjoyment! Now Leearon has some images to help her remember her time in Milwaukee, driving a 6 hitch Percheron team that pulls the big 'ole Circus wagon, for what may be the last Circus Parade to ever grace the streets of Milwaukee.
