The Circus Committee would like to thank you all ahead of time for helping out and volunteering your time. If you have not worked a Circus in a while or are new to the Shrine, please come and help out if you have some time. It doesn’t have to be every show or all day, it might be you only have a couple of hours to help, we can find something for you to do. There will be a manpower table set up when you first enter the doors upstairs. Please sign in and get a wristband for that day. This is something the Cross Center asked us to do, so we know how many people are in the building at any given time. We have a lot on new acts this year and will have Elephant and Pony rides before and at intermission. This was a great success last year and we think it will be even better this year. For those of you that attend the Presque Isle Circus, you may notice something missing this year. George Watson stepped down from being the Circus Chairman for Presque Isle Circus. He led the group up there for over 30 years. If you see George hanging around up there please thank him for his great leadership and support he has given to us to make the Circus a great success year after year. George, I hope to see you there and have some chips ready for me. If anybody needs guidance this year please see Jim Dwyer as he is the New Circus Chairman for Presque Isle. See you all at the show.
