The Escalante Circus

Posted By on September 5, 2008

The Escalante Circus was a small show, but it spawned some of the greatest circus performers in the country at that time. Notice on the far right a man in a dark suit. His name was Herbie Webber, a tight wire performer known for his “slide for life” act. Also is Melonga, Chata, Henry, Lalo, Escalante the Landon’s and my Mom and Dad.
