The Big Top!

We are packed in like sardines, as wet as one too!

The Big Top came to town! This was another unique experience that is best described as WOW, not necessarily a good WOW, but deserves the title. Let’s start with a shoe horning of guests into a one ring circus tent erected in the town’s square (one could barely move…praying there was no calamity where people needed to evacuate). It happened to be pouring rain this day and besides standing in 2-3 inches of water outside waiting to get in, there was 2-3 inches inside the tent completely submerging the electrical cords for the sound, lighting, popcorn and cotton candy maker….ahh, thank goodness we have soaking wet submerged rubber soles on! The talent was good for the size of the event, we saw a tight rope walker….let's just say she was very flexible, a sword swallower, amazing farm animals that could do tricks of sorts (I never thought a 75lb pot belly pig would execute an obstacle course and chickens that were willing to be spun around in circles on hoops. It really was a good show and the clown between acts made all of us laugh even though we didn’t understand a single word. To keep it short, one could classify the whole event as a “circus”…but a three ring would have been more appropriate.

Entranced by the show!
