Circus exhibit - Forrester - 08-06-2009 Did anyone here manage to get to this exhibit at the Lake County Discovery Museum: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.lcfpd.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=calendar.viewDetail&object_id=27602">http://www.lcfpd.org/calendar/index.cfm ... t_id=27602</a><!-- m --> I won't be able to get to it, as I can't get to Illinois until the end of August. If anyone has visited, I would be interested to know whether there is anything on display relating to circuses/carnivals in Waukegan in the early 1930s - photos, text, anything. Many thanks. Re: Circus exhibit - Danno - 08-08-2009 Re: Circus exhibit - Forrester - 08-08-2009 Hey Danno, that's terrific! From the date (Wed Aug 29), and assuming this is from the 1930s, I have figured that this must be from 1934. (Actually, I used a website that shows you a calendar from any year you choose.) Is this the only Waukegan item from the '30s in the exhibit? Many thanks for posting it.
