YORKVILLE — Performances of the 2012 Tripoli Shrine Circus Spectacular will be held at 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, May 19, at the Racine County Fairgrounds, 19805 Durand Ave. The show features international performers from more than 15 countries.
Elephants, tigers and acrobats prepare to dazzle and astound during this benefit series hosted by the Tripoli Shrine.
“In my 50 years in the circus, I’ve never had this much talent in one show,” said George Carden of this year’s Tripoli Shrine Circus Spectacular. Newly discovered acts by Carden include:
* Audrey Michelle, one of the only female ringmasters in the world.
* Daniel Raffo, world renowned tiger trainer from Argentina.
* Andrea, Arline, and Lluvia. This daring duo hangs high above the arena by their hair while spinning at dangerous speeds and juggling flaming batons.
* Broadway Bo, the world’s largest performing elephant trained by Larry Carden.
* Fabio’s Extreme Riders, It’s a Small World After All. This fearless foursome ride while encased in a steel globe.
* The Arias Family, Oodles of Poodles. Watch these canines leap and dance.
The Tripoli Shrine Circus Spectacular is the only interactive circus in the world. The audience is welcomed into all three rings of the circus floor one hour prior to show times to meet the performers, ride the elephants and “clown around.” People may bring cameras.
