Teagen Purvis laughed as she saw a Shrine Circus clown named Todo greeting children and adults at the entrance way to the Selkirk Recreation Complex on Friday.
The eight-year-old from Selkirk, who attended the annual circus with her younger sister Zoey and parents Darcy and Tracy, says the clown was funny and she liked the trick that Todo did with a "pet mouse".
"Funny clowns and funny tricks," said Teagen with plenty of laughter just after posing for a photo with Todo and the Selkirk Fire Department mascot, Sparky.
The Circus Spectacular presented by Khartum Shrine rolled into the Tri-S area on May 20 and delighted circus goers with two shows.
And with the announcement from ringmaster Tim Tegge "boys and girls are you ready – away we go" - the first show kicked off at 5:00 p.m. and the second show got underway at 8:00 p.m. at the rec complex in Selkirk.
This year's Khartum Shrine Circus Spectacular produced by Cindy Migley featured 19 displays which included the Canadian National Anthem, Brauns performing Dobermans, the Amazing Tina as the Phantom of the Air, Amarillo Al and his Comedy Lemon-Zine, Whip Cracking performed by the Amazing Caleb, and the Cyberdome Ryders - just to name a few of the dramatic acts.
