As the Youth Chairman for the Circus Fans Association, I have this year taken several trips to the various youth circuses across the country. My latest venture was up to St. Paul, MN to see the final weekend of “Showdown” the 2012 summer production of Circus Juventas. To say the least, their show was amazing. It is kind of like Cirque Soleil, but with a story line you can understand. It blends theater, dance and traditional circus arts. Showdown took us back to the old west. Good guys, bad guys, prospectors, dance hall girls, a stage coach robbery, a bar room brawl, and finishing with a gunfight on the wall trampoline. They had a great sound system with mainly country –western music, top notch lighting, and very well done costumes. The show even had a horse, didn’t really do much, but it is unique to see a youth circus that uses animals. |

If anything spells circus to me
it's the front end of a Glock 9mm
Given the recent horrific events
this might be a poor prop choice
Billy the Kid can point a gun at you if he likes...'cause Circus Juventas is a 501 C-3!
Thanks Jimmy as I had no idea that
was the definition of a 501 C 3
It's just amazing what congress can
add to a bill to suit themselves
You had to have been there. This is Zebulon, who was doing the BEST intermission pitch for the souviner stand I ever saw!
Have heard folks complain that the
garbage joints were highway robbers
before but never with a gun
