by Susan Eng May 19, 2010
On Thursday, July 1, and Friday, July 2, Circus Vidbel will be appearing in New Canaan. The circus will be held at Saxe field, and there will be two shows each day, at 3 pm and 6 pm.
Proceeds from the event benefit teen programs at the YMCA and Outback Teen Center.
Tickets are now on sale at the New Canaan YMCA Front Desk, as well as at the following local merchants: The Bank of New Canaan (Elm Street), Baskin Robbins New Canaan, Bob's Sports, First County Bank New Canaan, New Canaan Diner, Elm Street Books, Gelatissimo, and TD Bank New Canaan.
Ticket prices are $15 per person in advance or $20 at the door. Children under two are free.
"We're excited to be partnering with Kiwanis to support our community's teens with a fundraising event everyone in the family can enjoy," said YMCA Executive Director Craig Panzano.
Added Kiwanis president Eloise Killeffer, "It's our hope to create a community tradition that children and families will look forward to each year and remember for years to come."
Circus Vidbel—a family-run, one-ring, old-time circus—has been performing across the United States for more than 20 years. Performances under the big top tent include Susan Vidbel in a breathtaking aerial cloud swing display, an aerial hoop performance, dog and horse acts, an African acrobatic troupe, and jugglers. There will also be plenty of traditional circus laughter brought on by the genius of the Vidbel clowns. The show is suitable for families with children of all ages, and no wild animals are part of the performance.
