Circus

Main Street Fairmount, the local town improvement group, brought to town the Kelly Martin Circus for two shows today. My sister the editor and I attended the evening performance. I saw what a circus has: clowns, performing animals (tigers, camels, elephants and dogs), acrobats, jugglers, and a dancing troupe from Argentina. I was very impressed.

I have not attended a circus since my childhood days, when Madre took us kids to a circus in LaRue. I do not remember much of it, except it was dark inside.

The circus offered rides on the camels and elephants before the show and during intermission. The camel lady tried to get my sister (who just dyed her hair green) to ride on the camel. My sister demurred: Too high.
