The Circus is in Town

The Shrine Circus is in town and there will be two shows
a day for the next two days. I've never been to the circus.
I was supposed to go to the Shrine Circus in Elementary
School, but as luck would have it, I got the measles and
wasn't able to go. A couple years later, our class was
scheduled to tour nearby Bethlehem Steel. Naturally, I
came down with the chicken pox. For some reason, class
outings and I didn't seem to mix. We aren't going to be
going to the circus here this time either as we might be
going to Circus Circus in Las Vegas next week.


Just for fun, we drove over to the fairgrounds and expected
to see the bigtop tent. I was a little disappointed though
since their wasn't any bigtop. There were three rings, lots
of acrobatic equipment, trapezes, etc., but no tent. I guess
this particular circus just uses local grandstands like ours
and since we don't get much rain, it doesn't really need a
tent. I hope folks attending get a good show and I took a
few photos and escaped without coming down with the
measles!
