Hula hoops outside of the tent
One of the performers practices with hula hoops between trailers near the Cole Bros Circus tent before a show in Thomasville, Georgia.
2009 marks the Cole Bros.’s 125th anniversary and the circus claims to be the oldest American circus under a tent. The 136 x 231 foot tent can house over 2,800 fans, along with several acts where the performers hail from all over the world.
