“We’re excited to be partnering with Kiwanis to support our community’s teens with a fund-raising event everyone in the family can enjoy,” said YMCA Executive Director Craig Panzano.
Echoed Eloise Killeffer, Kiwanis president: “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 an aerial cloud swing display, an aerial hoop performance, dog and horse acts, an African acrobatic troupe and jugglers.
