The audience clapped and cheered Sunday as circus performers swung high above the ring or juggled large barrels with their feet in Circus World Museum's first day open after flooding threatened the museum grounds. With a few exceptions, most of the museum escaped the flooding without being damaged, he said. Museum staff members put up a barrier of sandbags to protect the historic elephant building, and its drains were able to handled any leakage that got in.

Circus World Museum lost its largest performer Tuesday morning when Moxie, a 25-year-old African elephant, passed away from a mysterious illness that quickly took his life, said trainer Doug Terranova. While Moxie was a performer to many, to Terranova he was an important member of his family. Terranova got him in 1997 and has worked with him every day since.

Jenda Smaha, 74, was brought to Baraboo in 1960 by Chappie Fox and Wilbur Deppe and worked here for several years before embarking on a career that would take him around the world, said his brother Tony Smaha.
