Returning in July: Circus Vidbel tickets on sale Friday, 03 June 2011
FROM: acorn-online
The circus will be performing under the big top tent at the Saxe Middle School playing field on Friday, July 1, Saturday, July 2 and Sunday, July 3. There will be two shows daily, at 3 and 6 p.m.
Proceeds from the event will benefit youth development programs at the New Canaan YMCA and throughout the community.
Tickets will be on sale beginning the first week of June at the New Canaan YMCA Front Desk, as well as at the following local merchants: TD Bank New Canaan, Baskin Robbins New Canaan, Elm Street Books, First County Bank New Canaan, Hawthorne, Ackerly and Dorrance, LLC., and New Balance New Canaan. Prices are $15 per person in advance or $20 at the door. Children under two are free.
Last year’s circus hosted roughly 3,000 guests and raised nearly $25,000, which benefited teen programming at the New Canaan YMCA and the implementation of a recording studio at the Outback Teen Center.
Circus Vidbel — a family-run, one-ring, old-time circus — has been performing across the United States for more than 20 years.
New performances this year will include the Zamperla Brothers Bareback Riders — showcasing equestrian acrobats — Chinese vase jugglers and a “nail-biting” archery act. Favorite acts from last year that will be returning include aerialist Susan Vidbel in a breathtaking cloud swing and lyra displays, the Darnell Sisters magic and dog act, Risley juggling and the Rola-Bola balancing board act.
Children will be able to play in the ring prior to the show. There will also be concessions, music and plenty of traditional circus laughter brought on by the Circus Vidbel clowns. The show is appropriate for families with children of all ages and no wild animals are part of the performance.
