No damage was done to anything inside the building but it melted the metal off of the outside of the building and charred the wooden structure. Just a week or so before that vandals had hit sending a trash can in the river and I was told some windows were involved. I can testify to the graffiti sprayed all over a couple of the Flatcars and the broken windows at the train sheds. I hope and pray the Law Enforcement is able to get a handle on these indivduals and make the arrests. If you have never seen the Circus World Museum before, it houses the largest and most spectacular collection of historic Circus Wagons in the world. Also there is the Robert Parkinson Research Library that houses more Circus Posters, circus photos, circus books, route books, programs, and historical artifacts and documentation than any other facility in the world.
