Siebrand Bros.1950:  The Ritters were some of the finest people you would ever want to meet. Between shows you would often find my dad at their Bingo games.

Siebrand Bros. 1949.  It wasn’t a circus act, but this part of the show was very popular.  Frank and Danita Roche produced the dance group. They are found in the center of photo.

People are beginning to gather at the back of the Midway. The circus was a big attraction, and made Siebrands carnival very successful. There was a cover charge of 25 cents during the 1950’s.
