In place of a tree skirt, there is a red and white circus tent. Circus folks, clowns, animals, wagons and banners surround the tent’s perimeter. There are even a couple of kids (and their dog) peaking under the tent. As one of the banners claims, it is the Greatest Show in Rochester.

Along with the Ring Master on the top, there are over 150 ornaments filling the tree. Winding around the tree branches is a garland of ornaments forming a circus parade.

The circus tent is designed to be used in either of two fashions. In addition to having the tree come up from the tent’s center, there is a substitute center pole provided. This allows the tent to be displayed separately from the tree.

A wonderful photo album of the tree and the decorating team in action has been created by Tom. Here is the link to it. >> PHOTOS <<
