Look not at the face, young girl, look at the heart. The heart of a handsome young man is often deformed. There are hearts in which love does not keep. Young girl, the pine is not beautiful; it is not beautiful like the poplar, but it keeps its foliage in winter.
In winter there is no heat, no light, no noon, evening touches morning, there is fog, and mist, the window is frosted, and you cannot see clearly. The sky is but the mouth of a cave. The whole day is the cave.... Frightful season! Winter changes into stone the water of heaven and the heart of man.
When working on perfecting this cranberry hugo spritz, I found that the best combination came with the addition of a small amount of orange liqueur to go along with the tart cranberries. You can leave it out completely and still have a fabulous cocktail though.

Despite the boom in circuses wintering in Hugo, there also came a bust. Over time, shows changed hands, in some cases names, and even owners. Some were successful, some folded. Yet, the town of Hugo continues to hold strong to its circus heritage. Currently three active circuses call Hugo home; Carson and Barnes, Kelly Miller, and Culpepper & Merriweather. Traveling by road, these three tent circuses entertain in towns of various sizes, including small rural communities throughout the country. Their continued existence is evidence that the circus is still magical for people of all ages and is truly one of the last great family entertainments.
In part due to an accident at an early age while traveling with the circus, Bob became interested in drawing. As time moved on, he would draw posters for the circus and paint circus trucks. Around the age of thirty-five he stopped performing and moved into the management end of show business and began painting more. He has painted for various circuses and not just those that winter in Hugo. During his oral history Bob shared his childhood memories of being with the circus, performing with family, and branching out into various areas of the business. He also talked about his interest in drawing and how he came to draw circus posters and paint circus trucks.
