NEILLSVILLE,WI — A very talented 17-year-old trapeze performer is proving to the world that just because you are in the circus doesn’t mean you cannot fulfill your other dreams.

Franchesca Cavallini dreamed of becoming a trapeze artist, and she became just that. She also had a hidden talent for singing and had always dreamed of becoming a famous singer. Last year, producer and songwriter Jacque Hollander wrote and produced a song “I Am The Circus” especially for Franchesca, and together they are turning her dream into reality.

Franchesca, from a young age, has always loved animals, especially elephants. She realized that she could use her dream to help these magnificent creatures she loves so much. One-hundred percent of the proceeds from this song will go to the Asian elephants at the Endangered Ark Foundation in Hugo, Okla. The Endangered Ark Foundation, a non-profit 501 C3 organization, was established in 1993 to help in the preservation of the endangered Asian elephant in North America. It is home to the second largest herd of Asian elephants in the United States.

Franchesca will perform her song live under the big top, when Carson & Barnes Circus performs comes to the Clark County Fairgrounds in Neillsville. Performances are at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Accompanying her in a 10-minute extravaganza are aerialists in a glittered pageantry of circus artists from around the world and her favorite elephant “Isa.” They combine to present a performance to be remembered, as she sings “I Am The Circus.” Do not miss this opportunity to see a rising star and to help the elephants.
