Geddes, NY -- Walker Brothers Circus Ringmaster Brian LaPalme started off the first free circus show of the day at the New York State Fair by breathing flames 30 feet in the air.
"I love my job," LaPalme said. "How many people can say that."
The 45-minute circus variety show features several different performances including clowns, aerial acrobats and a horse act. The circus tent is located in the Adventure Zone near the grandstands and shows are at 12, 2 and 5:45 p.m. daily, with an extra show at 3:45 p.m. on weekends
LaPalme said he's been in the circus business for 36 years and this is first year he has traveled with the Walker Brothers Circus.
"It's a fantastic show," LaPalme said. "The clown is really funny, he makes me laugh."
LaPalme said the crowds at the fair have been excellent.
"They seem to really enjoy the show and they stay for the whole thing," he said.
