The Special Olympics athletes will feel truly celebrated and Host Town members will make friends for life. WHEN ARE THE HOST TOWNS?

The 17-year-old Las Vegas- based, family-owned circus is a one-stage traveling operation with high-wire acts, acrobats, magicians and clowns that owner Roberto Osorio describes as “a Las Vegas-style production that is a cross between Cirque de Soleil and the more traditional traveling circuses.” In addition to providing a fun activity for family members of all ages, a percentage of ticket sales will be used to support La Habra recreation and Spring Family Eggstravaganza: community programs. Bigger & Better Than Ever This year’s Spring Family Eggstravaganza was again held at its new location, La Bonita Park.

The helicopter egg drop was a major draw, as was the inclusion of more vendors. As always, the La Habra Family Resource Center Community Resource Fair was part of the event, giving families the opportunity to learn more about County and local health and social services. City recreation class instructors were also on hand to raise awareness about the many classes the Community Services Department offers. For a full list of recreation classes, please see pages 23-41.
