Circus Tent Memories

Following are some of the slides given to the Town by Reverend Hank Wilkinson, who had the idea for the Circus Tent back in the late 1960s.  We have about 80 slides and an audio of Reverend Wilkinson presenting them.  Our intent is to combine the audio and slides into a digitized slide show, or film, and have it provided to the Government Channel / Current TV for airing.  We will also provide a custom link on this page, when it is completed so you can watch the video any time.  In the meantime, we'll be adding more stills from Reverend Wilkinson's slide show.
