Update on Circus World 'Red Noses'

[livejournal.com profile] teeka and I went to the Circus World Museum today. Not much of the place is open during the winter, only the main exhibit hall/visitor's center, the wagon barn, the wagon restoration shop, and one of the other buildings were open. We took ~300 pictures, and will be putting some up later.

We asked about the 'One Dozen Long-Stemmed Red Noses' promotion, because they had a few of the bouquets left at the gift shop. This year, they sold over 1000 of them (up from 300-400 last year), and even used up all of the clown noses in the gift shop trying to fill all the orders, which went all over the world, including Japan and Germany. I took better pictures of the bouquet, both as the whole bouquet and a close-up of one nose.

They will be on sale again for Mother's Day.
