The government of Haiti could use circus...
to provide shelter in Haiti ahead of the rainy season expected to hit the island nation in late March.The Conrad Hilton Foundation, already involved in Haiti relief projects, agreed to finance the shipment, Schrade said. A convoy of trucks with the tents has already left for Florida where the tents will be loaded onto a ship to bring them to Port-au-Prince.
Technicians hired by Schrade will travel there to supervise the set up, he said.
The tents, which initially cost about $5 million, were first used by Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas a decade ago. They also spent time at a Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, theme park before Schrade bought them with the idea of using them at a Reno hotel, but the economic downturn derailed his plan, he said.
