Milwaukee was home to the Great Circus Parade for almost 30 years. Beginning in 1963 and continuing until 1972, the parade became an annual tradition, except in 1967 when the event was cancelled because of civil unrest. Revived on a smaller scale in 1980, the parade traveled between Baraboo and Chicago until it returned to Milwaukee in 1985. Each year, it grew in size and scope, gaining national prominence. The old-fashioned circus parade became an event of mammoth proportions, requiring an army of volunteers working behind the scenes.Author: Jim Peterson, Donna PetersonPublisher: Arcadia Publishing (SC)Published: 05/23/2016Pages: 96Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.70lbsSize: 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.40dISBN: 9781467115735 Show more
