Join local author Gary Steele as he presents his book The Gypsy Family Circus of 1933.  The author is product of a Gypsy heritage and a circus childhood, and he weaves together old family stories of life on the road during the Great Depression, when people yearned for escape from their dreary lives and shelled out nickels and dimes for an annual escape into a circus filled with beauty, danger, comedy, mystery, and delight.
