To say that the circus had pulled out all the stops would be an understatement. This group of men and women did everything in their power and funds to make the circus grander and flashier than ever. They succeeded in every sense of the word and the world around the fair grounds had been transformed. Stepping on the grounds was like taking a trip into the past; returning to the caravan's hay day when the bazaar had been called the greatest show on earth. Performers of all kinds delighted the attendee's with simple tricks along the torch lit path leading from the parking area and valet station up to the main tent. Seated inside the multi-colored Big Top were a trio of rings surrounded on all sides by high rise stands.
Surrounding the big top was a little village of games and challenges for people to win prizes. For a few of the wealthier men there were games of chance with all proceeds going to charity of course. The festivities started at eight o'clock pm and the show itself didn't begin until ten, giving the stragglers a pretty generous cushion for time. As the last five minutes counted down a series of musicians(using their percussion section) began shepherding the masses inside the large tent. It took several minutes for everyone to settle down and as the lights went dark, a hush fell over the crowd. A single spot light activated, illuminating a portly man with a pencil thin mustache and extravagant top hat. His red coat (complete with tails) was immaculate under the harsh glare of the light. "Ladies and Gentlemen.." The Ringmaster spoke dramatically into the microphone. "Welcome to Haly's Circus!"
