 GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.- For its final day on Saturday, the 67th annual Shrine Circus wowed crowds at the Mesa Country Fairgrounds.

The traveling circus, based out of Las Vegas, visits Mesa County once a year.

They brought exotic animals with them, including tigers and elephants.

There were also aerialists and motorcyclists performing stunts.

Despite the winds, the president of Western Colorado Shrine Club, David Vandyke, said, "It hasn't affected them at all, nothing has been canceled, they are doing great, it's amazing. It makes it more fun, I don't know how they are doing it but they are doing it!"
