Adams Horne
A large crowd gathered for the Showfolks Tent 122 for the opening of this year’s run. After a short business meeting, Bob Horne gave the group an update on the restoration of the former Ringling private railroad car "Jomar". An original window was recently found in a former Ringling horse barn, and was given to Bob. In addition, a recent article in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune about the project has produced several other artifacts from the car.

Rudy and Beverly spoke of their lives and adventures in the business, and their lives after leaving the road. They put together a presentation of many pictures from their personal collection which were on display at the tent meeting.
The evening ended with refreshments and a huge raffle of circus items donated to raise money for the tent.
