Aut Mori Grotto Brings Circus to Town



The circus with a purpose is set to entertain valley residents this holiday weekend.

The Aut Mori Grotto will be putting on nine performances of the Royal Hanniford Circus this weekend at the former South Range High School Gym in North Lima. Wednesday was the opening performance with a show set at 7 p.m. Thanksgiving night. There also will be shows at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Sunday.

Doors open one hour before the performance. Seating is limited to 1,000 seats per show and tickets are $20.

Besides the Grotto clowns, guests will be entertained with the trapeze act as well as circus animals. This is the major fundraiser for the Grotto organization.

Those heading into the circus Wednesday evening were greeted by protesters. About a dozen members of the local PETA group stood outside holding signs. They are against the treatment of the animals that perform in the circus.
