Toy Circus Was Popular

A toy circus, brought to Gisborne through the Public Relations Office by Mr Pat Patterson of Palmerston North, attracted hundreds of excited children and their parents during the May school holidays.

The display consisted of a multitude of small working models of animals, clowns, and performers, all doing their small part to make the show a very impressive one.
