Big Top-Small Town

 

Hours before the sun comes up.  In hundreds of small towns in every state in America. A caravan of trucks and campers pull into open fields. Work begins almost immediately. Tents unrolled. Polls and stakes laid out. Miles of cables and thousands of spikes. Everyone pitches in. Soon the tents arise. The tigers and elephants are fed and cared for. In a trailer near the back normal people file in. When the doors open again out come the clowns. The shiney outfits are pulled on.

   Everything is ready and the young and old file through the turnstiles.

   Two or three days later the caravan fully loaded and everything and everybody aboard the show drives into the night to another little town down the road.
