Circus coming to Lake George?
from: poststar.com December 2, 2011
The village of Lake George could host a circus next summer.
Lake George Mayor Robert Blais said he has been discussing a two-week run in Lake George for The Big Apple Circus next July.
The goal would be for the event to locate on the festival space at the former Gaslight village, though Blais said it probably won't be ready for such an event next summer.
The circus is interested in coming to the area though, and it could locate across West Brook Road at Battleground Park next year, and move to the festival space in 2013 when construction there is done, Blais said.
"I think it's a perfect fit for the festival space," Blais said. "They are a tremendous and very high class operation."
Supervisors on Warren County's Gaslight Village Ad Hoc Committee gave Blais the go-ahead to meet with them later this month to discuss the issue.
The circus has the last two weeks of July open next summer, which would work well with the tourism schedule, Blais said.
