Summerton, SC Rotary hosts Old Tyme Circus
April 27, 2011 By Cathy Gilbert
Two shows. Two days. Four exciting opportunities to experience an old time, “Big Top” circus, right here in Clarendon County.
Sponsored by the Summerton Rotary Club, the Circus Vidbel will be in performance at 5:30 and 7:45 p.m. on May 3 and 4 … and you won’t want to miss it.
Genuine family-oriented entertainment, the Circus Vidbel now in its 23rd national tour, harkens circus fans back to the old days of a traveling circus that brings aerialists, comic magic, jugglers, sensational music, foot juggling, unicycles, acrobats and clowns ready to thrill a Clarendon audience.
During performances under the big top, Vidbel’s Performance Director and Ringmaster Ian Garden Jr. will introduce the audience to several traditional and unusual circus acts such as Suzanne Vidbel in a breathtaking aerial cloud swing display, Ian Garden’s spectacular, award-winning Liberty Horse presentation and the Alvarez Family’s teeter board act -- a dangerous and nerve-wracking display of skill and daring.
There will also be plenty of traditional circus laughter brought on by the genius of the Vidbel clowns, unequalled excellence with the Pat Davison Family’s Unicycle and Rola-Bola displays and much, much more, all accompanied by sensational live music by Wynn Murrah.
Realtor and Rotary Fund Raising Chairman Alfred Kelley is spearheading the effort for the club.
“The Circus Vidbel is known for its willingness to work with charitable organizations to benefit the communities they performed in,” Kelley noted. “Net proceeds from the four performances will be used in support of various projects we do within the county, especially those benefiting schools in the Summerton area with items such as book bags and supplies for students going back to school, scholarships, literacy night, the dictionary project that provides student dictionaries for every third grader and scholarships to both Boys and Girl State.”
The Circus Vidbel will set up their Big Top on the vacant lot between the Dept. of Social Services and the Council on Aging on Church Street in Manning. Shows will be held at 5:30 and 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 3, and Wednesday, May 4. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the door and are available at Agent Owned Realty in Manning, Anderson Pharmacy, the Clarendon Citizen, the Chamber of Commerce or any Summerton Rotarian. Call 803-433-2800 for more information.
