content: Carol Greensberg (presenter); Sarah Chapman In many circuses it is common to have an additional cart with snacks and treats for performers to stop by between shows. Although slightly removed from the cookhouse meals, the Pie Car was still a part of the circus train and helped keep the performers fed and energized between meals. Sarah Chapman joined Sailor Circus in Sarasota, Florida, at age twelve and has performed aerial acts for twenty years. She has since written and published four circus-themed cookbooks and a memoir.
