    1. [PAMERCER-L] Circus Update!
    2. Hi PA Cousins; I hope this finds all of you well and having luck in your research. I am writing today to tell you that I finally received the circus info on my WALDO ancestors from The Circus World Museum in Baraboo, WI and I am very pleased with it! There are copies of old Billboard articles, Circus Programs and some pix of Circus Posters. Everything that was sent had a cover sheet which is the front page of each publication from which it was obtained. It took about 6 wks. to get it but I am very pleased! I hope that some of you will request materials on your circus ancestors as well as its fun to see them and their act description printed in these old programs, besides I get a thrill thinking about how they probably carried these in their scrapbooks, sent them back to mom and were probably presented with them with requests to autograph by their young adoring fans! Gosk, it makes hungry for peanuts and cotton candy. May all you days be Circus Days! Patti Waldo Swaim P.S. Here the address/phone number for the museum: •Circus World Museum & Library; 426 Water Street, Baraboo, WI.53913 USA Tel: 608/356-8341 I spoke with Erin Foley who was very helpful. They prefer for you to send your request via snail mail but I did follow up with a phone call and another about 3 wks. later.
