Then a red truck turns the corner, a drummer marching beside it and performers on the roof, and for a moment the whole town stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eIndian Circus Truck\u003c\/b\u003e freezes that moment in miniature.

On the roadside, a boy takes a paper notice as if it were a golden ticket, a man on a bicycle brakes mid-ride, and a dog runs alongside, as excited as everyone else. Every figure is hand-painted, down to the tiniest face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe circus truck always carried one message: something wonderful is coming. That makes it a gift for good news, too. Give it to announce a new beginning, like a new home, an engagement, a promotion or a new venture.
