When Jose Vazquez was small and people asked what he wanted to be when he grew up, he said, “A circus performer.” That’s not an uncommon response from children, but Vazquez’s family actually owns a circus.
Circus is all about family; it’s not just for families — many of the performers are fourth- or fifth-generation, and the entire crew from the elephant handlers to the concessions dealers live like a family, traveling together for 10 months a year.
