St. John Terrell's Tent Theater Circuit
1956 Lambertville Music Circus playbills separate out staff from Lambertville and the other Circuit tents. According to the 1956 "Annie Get Your Gun" playbill there were three staffs: Central Company Staff for Lambertville, one for the Neptune Music Circus and one for the Camden County Music Circus.
The four theaters Mr. Terrell established and operated were:- Brandywine Music Circus (Concordville, PA)
Its first season was 1956. - Camden County Music Circus (Haddonfield, NJ)
Its first season was 1956 - Neptune Music Circus (Asbury Park, NJ)

Camden County Music Circus
In 1957 it was purchased by Guber, Gross, and Ford who owned the Valley Forge Music Fair. They changed the name of the tent theater to the Camden County Music Fair.
This may be the present location where the Camden County Music Circus once stood.
