Band Organs at Great Circus Parade, Milwaukee, WI
By Bob Taylor
As Greg Filardo points out, the event which had been held annually
at one time is now somewhat scaled back from years ago. In fact, at
one time, a steam engine pulled the wagons on flat cars from Baraboo
down the Chicago Northwestern tracks into the Chicago area and then
up to Milwaukee. That event was a huge prelude for what was to
follow and helped build excitement.
In 1986 I was able to capture the train event on an early video which
now may be seen on YouTube --
