The Herring Circus

The Herring Circus was operated by the Lindstrom family. The circus was "like Seaworld, only smaller," although "larger than a flea circus."

On only one occasion, the circus shot a herring out of a cannon. However, the herring hit a tree. After that incident, no other herring would volunteer, and the cannon fell out of use.

The circus was described to Rose Nylund by her grandfather. His eccentric behavior, however, casts doubt on the story's veracity.
