To my knowledge The Siebrand Bros Carnival was one of the first to put a full circus on the back of their show.  There were others,  but the Siebrands in their beginning carried about 30 to 40 performers. The carnival and circus started in the early 1930’s and continued with more and more shows having a free circus. This trend continued until the 1980’s.  In some cases there are still is a few carnivals that have a circus combination. Today,  there are bigger faster rides with monster midways that offer more and different types of entrainment to the public.
