Was it where the ice had formed over the hole they made in the ice?

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone

Re: Barney Mysteries Quiz
You really have me thinking.
Was it a piece of ice that had been cut out, so they could put the boxes in the pond, and then allow the hole to refreeze?

Thank you, Daisy.
In Rilloby Fair, why is Roger not at the station with Diana to meet Snubby and Loony?

Re: Barney Mysteries Quiz
That is correct Rob.
Diana makes the statement that she wished Great Uncle Robert had gotten out at the same station, but if he had we would have been deprived of that great scene when Snubby, Loony and Great Uncle meet at the house.
Your turn.

Thank you snugglepot!
okay - staying with Rilloby Fair - name the one of the characters from Mr Galliano's Circus that Old Ma remembers working with in the past?
