Buckles,

I noticed that you occasionally feature circus models so I wanted to pass this event along for your blog that we all enjoy every day.
The Hoxie Tucker Ring in Central NY has a large display at this years NY State Fair in Syracuse NY. The fair runs from August 26 thru Labor day. There are 15 exhibits featuring circus and carnival models. This years display also features close to 100 original posters and 90 circus photos hung on the walls around the displays. This makes a big splash.
If any of your readers happen by this part of the country, stop by and say hello.

Syracuse NY, a great fair to visit.
We showed it the past couple of years and had a great time getting to see the unloading of the Strates train,Coronas Circus,
Lots and lots of strolling entertainment, Daily Parade and yes the miniature circus models and posters of various circuses. A two thumbs up on this exhibit done by the(Truly non Fans of the Circus)AKA NY.Model Builders,I will have to ask Jimmy Cole If that is politically correct?
This fair reminds me of the Grandness of what the State Fair of Texas used to be.
