Circus Daze Cookie Jars #3
The Calliope . . . 2000

Eventually a five jar set will form the IGA Hometown Kids "CIRCUS TRAIN" when complete. The first jar is an "ELEPHANT" pulling the train, the second jar is a "LION & TIGER" jar and the third jar is a "CALLIOPE CAR" with the Year 2000 and millenium symbol MM prominently displayed. Jar four will be a "GIRAFFE & ZEBRA" jar, with the heads of the giraffes coming out of the top of the jar. The fifth jar will be a "CLOWN CAR" as the caboose.*


Every circus train needs music.


The 2000 jar was available at Fleming affiliated IGA grocery stores for about $20.

Mills is the person that created this jar when working for Fleming Foods as the Group President of IGA. He has since gone into business for himself and is now the owner of five IGA supermarkets. If you cannot find the jar locally, you can contact him and he will ship the jars directly to you.
