The circus is coming!

There was a lot of clowning around on Friday morning last week when Skeeter the Circus Clown came to town to visit the children and residents of Skyview ahead of this Saturday’s big top event, the Culpepper and Meriweather Circus. Sponsored by Bridgeport Girl Scouts, Skeeter visited the several daycares in and around town, the public library, and the nursing home before meeting the scouts in the East Park to do an informal presentation on the history of the circus in American and a demonstration on how to make balloon animals. This year’s Camp Clarke Queen, Jordan Wagner, chauffeured Skeeter around town in her VW bug, making it a true clown car for the day.
