Elephants, tigers and camels. Oh, my.

Family members — young and old — will be enchanted under the old-fashioned big top this week as the Kelly Miller Circus rolls into Livingston County to perform at two sites.

The Oklahoma-based company will present shows at 4:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Wednesday at St. Mary Catholic Church, 10601 Dexter-Pinckney Road, south of M-36 in Putnam Township, and at 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday at Fowlerville High School, 700 N. Grand Ave. in Fowlerville.

"It's a good, wholesome family activity that our community definitely needs," said Rebecca Keiser, director of religious education and youth ministry at St. Mary Catholic Church, the sponsor of Wednesday's performances.

The Kelly Miller Circus has been on the road since 1938 and will perform shows in 217 locations this year, according to General Manager Jim Royal.

This year will mark the Fowlerville Rotary's second time sponsoring the circus, but it won't be held at the Fowlerville Fairgrounds in Handy Township, as it last was in 2010.
