Old, old, Mural... Circus Poster Uncovered -- The Messenger - Fort Dodge, Iowa

VINCENT — Crowds gathered in Vincent Saturday afternoon to see the circus.
Camels pulling carts, performers in colorful costumes, horses standing inside giant kegs — it all paraded across the side of the old grocery store along County Road P71, the little town's main street.
Ringling Bros. World's Greatest Shows posters were uncovered when the siding and tar paper were pulled off the old building as part of a renovation project.
They say it can't be preserved, but I bet otherwise. Not that it will be. Thanks to Ze Frank for the link.
