The Monroeville,Indiana Chamber of Commerce and Park Board have teamed up to bring the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus to town for two performances on Thursday, May 24 - the first one to stop in the southeast Allen County area for 10 years.
A special behind-the-scenes look at how the Monroeville Community Park grounds are transformed into the one-ring “Circus City” is open to visitors Thursday morning. Circus crews will raise the tent and take guests on a free tour between 9:30 and 10 a.m. The tour is open to families, schools and interested community members who want to meet the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus family and take a walking tour of the circus grounds.
The big top circus will then perform two 90-minute shows at 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Both the midway and box office will open at 4 p.m., with pony rides, a moon bounce, concessions and more.
This year’s circus lineup includes Miss Simone and her “amazing” single trapeze, Miss Lana’s feathered friends, Miss Paulina on the web, the Arlise Troupe on their “wild and crazy” unicycles, Angel Perez with juggling, the Silverlake’s “sizzling” whips, Karina and her hula hoops and the Perez Russian swing.
