And a fine circus it was! Vargas and Big John Strong were the only games in town for Marysville and Yuba City, CA.

Yes, in its three-ring era, Vargas was the same size as the Beatty show. This portrait of Pat Anthony may be the one time he was this well-featured on paper.

It was during the 91 - 92 Winter turnaround

that I went out to Goodyear to assist in the

poorly configured cutdown of the Vargas top

from that 3 ring to a 1 ring format Roger

I provided much new lighting & rigging for

a draped central back door entrance that

we were never fully paid for by Roland

He made a few additional remittances but

after that he became belligerent & stopped

This is the same program cover used by the

Miller Johnson Show before Cliff bought it
