Santa Cruz circuses come to life on video
Francis Carney who has lived in Santa Cruz all his life created a video of the Sells-Floto circue in 1913. That video is available to view through the Santa Cruz Public Libraries. When the Al Barnes Show came to town he and other kids from Santa Cruz got to participate in the parade as clowns. He remembers all the animals in the parade and captured it all on film.
