The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will pull into Clarendon this Friday, April 1, for two performances at the Clarendon College Livestock & Equine Center, sponsored by the Clarendon Lions Club.
America’s Favorite Old-Fashioned Big Top Circus will hold shows at 5:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The Midway and Box Office with (rides, moonbounce, concessions, and more) will open at 4 p.m.
This one-ring, big top circus has been featured on National Geographic’s Explorer TV series, The Chicago Tribune, and other media outlets.
Last Thursday, Culpepper & Merriweather’s advance clown, Skeeter, was in town and made appearances at Lowe’s Family Center, the Clarendon Outpost, two daycare centers, and Clarendon Elementary. Skeeter graduated from the Ringling Clown College and has spent much of the last 18 years traveling around the country – clowning around.
Culpepper & Merriweather invites the public to watch Friday morning as the lot in front of the Livestock & Equine Center is transformed into a bustling Circus City. Activity swirls around the grounds as animals are unloaded, the Big Top is erected, and rigging is prepared for performances later in the day.
On circus day, C&M performers bring the magic of the circus to life in each 90-minute show. This year’s lineup includes an All-Star group of performers and entertainers. The performers are sure to amaze and delight kids of all ages.
Advance tickets are available at: Lowe’s Family Center, the Clarendon Outpost, Mike’s Pharmacy, Donley County State Bank, Herring Bank, and the Enterprise. Prices for advance tickets are $6 for children ages 2 to 12, children under 2 are always free, and $9 for adults. On show day, tickets are $7 and $12.
A part of the circus proceeds will go to the Clarendon Lions Club in support of its many charitable endeavors.
