EL PASO- The El Maida Shrine Circus is back in the Sun City this weekend.
For the 60th year, the event has entertained thousands of El Pasoans. We caught up with the organizer, the ringmaster and some of the stars of the show as they bring their amazing performance to the three-ring circus. The El Maida Shrine Circus is putting the first of eight performances scheduled this weekend.
"We’ve got white tigers, gold tigers, they're all Bengal. We've got elephants. We've got bears, snakes for pictures and those are just a few of the acts that are scheduled to come into town," says Circus Director, Matt Salgado.
Matt says the El Maida Shrine Circus features clowns, a high-wire act, motorcycle riders inside a metal ball, a quick-change act and of course, performing animals .
"The dancing bears are a very entertaining group. It's kind of a dying art with circus companies," says the Ringmaster.
"The elephants will be dancing and standing up on their hind legs walking, laying down," says Matt.
