THE CIRCUS FANS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA ELECTS PENNSYLVANIA DOCTOR, PRESIDENT
Chicago, Illinois-September 9, 2006- At the 77th convention of the Circus Fans Association of America (“CFA”) Doctor Don Curtis of State College, Pennsylvania was elected the Association’s 67th President. Curtis has been a member of CFA for 55 years. When receiving the ceremonial bull hook, a symbol of the CFA Office of President, Curtis said, “I am honored to lead this great organization and hope that under my term of office the horizons of CFA can be expanded.” When he was a youngster, Curtis tells the story of going to see Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey while it was playing Philadelphia in 1951. As fate would have it, he sat next to Cecil B. DeMille who was filming the Oscar winning movie “The Greatest Show on Earth”. DeMille signed his circus program and said, “Son, I and others involved with motion pictures are members of CFA, you should be too.” Curtis said that he has been hooked on circus ever since. The CFA, founded in 1926, is an Association with nearly 2,000 members who support the American Circus Industry, collect circus memorabilia, and love to see a circus. The 2007 CFA convention will be held at Hershey, Pennsylvania –May 21-25. #####
