By Robbie Rhodes

The Great Circus Parade, presented by Circus World Museum of
Baraboo, Wisconsin, will take place on Sunday, July 14, 2002,
at 2:00 PM "come rain or shine" in downtown Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

The two-hour processional over a three-mile (4.8 km) route
authentically recreates a turn-of-the-century circus street
parade, and features 60 historic wagons, over 700 horses,
cavorting clowns, wild animals in cage wagons, and the fabulous
40-Horse Hitch.

In an interesting article about the circus and circus music ,
"The Triumphal March of Melody", author (and MMDer) Fred Dahlinger,
Jr., notes: "The steam calliope was presented as a technological
marvel on the 1857 Nixon & Kemp Circus."
