One of the clowns featured on the William Woodward mural, "The Greatest Show on Earth" is the late Glen "Frosty" Little who was Boss Clown for one unit and until his retirement in 1991, director of all the clowns in the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Thanks to Kenneth Feld and his family, the entrance to the Tibbals Learning Center of Sarasota’s John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art has a work of art befitting the building, its contents and the area’s circus history. It will be unveiled at 10 a.m. Saturday to the general public.
This morning, at 10:30 a.m. Feld, the chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment, will speak about the mural and the circus in the Historic Asolo Theater, located within the museum’s Visitor’s Center building.
