Step Inside as the Circus Comes to Town
The latest show created by the Hideaway Circus is called "Stars Above" and this is what it looks like.
Freak Shows and Side Shows
The Freak Show, which became the side show, has been traveling around the nation since the 1830's. Today many of these traveling performances have been banned and made illegal in several states. Coney Island in New York has the last permanently housed not for profit venue in the USA where you can experience the thrill of a traditional ten-in-one circus sideshow.
The Beard and Stash Collection
Beards and mustaches come in all shapes and sizes. Probably some shapes and sizes you have never seen before.
