The one and only, Mr. Circus, Tommy Hanneford and the incomparable Struppi Hanneford were honored on Tuesday Sept 16 at 2 separate affairs. Struppi at a noon lunch and Tommy at the gala Big E affair. Without a doubt they are Americas leading circus producers!!
The convention had over 240 registered. Over $2800 was raised at the auction and early returns show a profit of over $6000 which would include the auction money. I was very fortunate to have a outstanding co-chair and committee. The hotel was first class and the Big E went all out to CFA fans. This included a police escort to get the busses over Sunday morning in time for the outstanding Dick Whitmarsh South Shore Band concert.
Everyone, on Saturday nitght was treated to a super Berkshire Childrens Circus Camp performance under the big top with Dick Snyder thrilling the crowd with his calliope concert. These two shows Sat brought rave reviews from the full house!!!! To those who missed this convention you missed one that all attendees will be talking about for years. Follow the arrows-see you down the road- take care-God Bless, Dan
