BERKLEY — If daring rope spinners, roaring tigers and pyrotechnic displays entice you and your family, this Friday and Saturday make your way inside the Kelly Miller Circus tent.
Founded in 1938 by Obert Miller, the Kelly Miller Circus is now owned by John Ringling North II, the great-nephew of the famous Ringling Brothers.For many years, the traveling circus has been brought to Berkley by the Lions Club.
Beneath the one-ring circus tent lies a wonder of performing elephants, tigers, camels and ponies. In addition to performing animals, there will also be jugglers, rope spinners, acrobats and fire displays.
“It’s a good show, great for the family,” said Tony Andrade of the Berkley Lions Club. “They’ll also be elephant rides before the show.”
Circus proceeds will benefit Lions eye research, diabetes and hearing foundations and various local charities.
“We raise money to give it away,” Andrade said.
The show will take place at 49 South Main St. Friday show times are 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Saturday show times are 2 and 5 p.m.
With intermission, the show will last about 1 hour and 45 minutes and “typical circus food” will be available for purchase, Andrade said.Read more: http://www.tauntongazette.com/archive/x1336447964/Kelly-Miller-Circus-coming-to-Berkley#ixzz1Q5NJVdQC
