What a great lady and performer. Malikova did a single high wire act and she did all the tough tricks. I believe that she was related to the Welinda family. We worked together at the Phoenix State Fair 1964 .I have more info on Malikova ……..SEE COMMENT BLOW. Thanks to Joanne and PeeWee Pinson.

Tractor Pull
thecircusblog | January 5, 2009
National Date Festival 1982. I produced a tractor pull as a one day event at the festival. The contestents keep teasing me that I should get a tractor and enter the pull. I could’t get a tractor, so I promoted a tank from the National Guard….guess who won the event.
