Has anyone here ever attended this event? This is a parade held in Milwalkee sometime during the summer. Is it still being held? I did find a link showing some photos from several years ago, and there are some very interesting horse-drawn circus wagons in the pictures. Very intricate carving and hand-painted decorations. Eye Candy for sure.
The link for anyone interested is at:

If anyone knows if this event is still being held, I might be interested in seeing this next summer.

I don't know about the one you speak of, but here in Peru, Indiana we have a circus festival every July.
This used to be the winter quarters for the circus.
a half a block from my house is a shop called Wagon Works. This is where they restore the old wagons. We also have an extensive museum with lots of old wagons. Come on down, you'll have a blast!
