CFA Director of Public Relations and Media

At the 2006 Chicago Convention of the Circus Fans Association of America (“CFA”) winners of the second annual Top and Tent Newsletter Competition were announced. This years contest had 19 entries from 11Tops and Tents. The purpose of the competition is to create awareness within the CFA on the importance that Top and Tent Newsletters play in keeping the groups together. Limbach said, “ I am amazed with the quality of the newsletters submitted. Some are almost a magazine with several pages of content. We appreciate the time and effort that goes into these publications.” The judges for this year’s contest were Lynn Limbach, Pat Pagel, and Connie Thomas. The judges had a difficult time picking the winners.
