Ladies and Gentlemen … children of all ages!<br />
Well – how did we do?<br />
Here is what I have so far:<br />
Our attendance broke 30,000 for the<br />
first time since 2008. at is a increase<br />
of about 2,000 fans!<br />
e odometer on our website rolled<br />
over at 100,000 visits, and is now<br />
reading over 120,000 total visits!<br />
Our advertising was first rate, and<br />
the show was fantastic! Roger Berge<br />
brought in e Chicago Boyz for the first<br />
time ever, and they were an<br />
overwhelming success!<br />
e Extreme Motorcycle Show was<br />
just unbelievable! Fans told us that<br />
either of those acts alone was worth the<br />
price of admission!<br />
Floor event sales were strong, and the<br />
clowns have warned me that we will<br />
need more photo covers for next year.<br />
Speaking of the clowns, did you catch<br />
their new cannon skit? Years in the<br />
making – it looks like Imperial<br />
Competition material to me!<br />
Sales were strong! Some of the<br />
novelty sales people got home early<br />
because there was not a light-up toy left<br />
in the house Sunday afternoon!<br />
Inflatables, snow cones and cotton<br />
candy, and wearable sales looked brisk<br />
too!<br />
Finally, there were about 200 happy<br />
(and tired) faces at the After Circus<br />
Party!<br />
Despite being “e hardest fun we<br />
ever had!” we all had<br />
a good time doing John Davenport<br />
something big and<br />
exciting together! at’s just the way we<br />
are at Osman Shrine!<br />
So, whether you sold, or directed, or<br />
assembled, or inflated, or repaired, or<br />
gazed into flashbulbs, or yelled “Getem-here!”<br />
or “Follow Me!” you were a<br />
part of what Osman Shrine does best!<br />
Whatever you did, wherever you<br />
were, we needed your help, and OUR<br />
circus would not have been the same<br />
without YOU!<br />
anks for another great year!<br />

The recliners were popular between shows.<br />
Here Bruce Thomas takes a load off.<br />
Pam Lange takes a break from<br />
ushering to ride an elephant!<br />
The Seat Count was ... er ... thirty<br />
thousand and three! Sue Wilson turns in a<br />
few late ticket stubs to John Davenport at<br />
the After-Circus party.<br />
