Allan C. Hill

Allan C. Hill (September 23, 1948 in Norfolk, Virginia – September 10, 2007 in Sarasota, Florida) was an American Entrepreneur and Circus owner[1] who founded the Great American Circus.

He was also very involved in charitable and telemarketing interests.

In 1992, Hills' company successfully bounced back from tragedy when an elephant stampeded out of control and had to be shot down by police officers.[2] Video of the incident gave it national attention.
