Show Tickets now on sale for traditional tent circus Ticket sales to the All New "Roaring 20's" Edition of the Carson and Barnes Circus have been opened by the sponsoring Pleasant Grove Kiwanis. Carson and Barnes is the last surviving and thriving big traditional tent circus in America that still presents a full five ring performance as well as a huge wild animal menagerie. The circus will give performances at 2 and 8 p.m., one day only, Friday, July 15, at Pleasant Grove Rodeo Grounds. Advance tickets are sold at a discount by the sponsor. They receive up to 50 percent of the proceeds from the advance sale. Ticket prices will be higher on showday and the sponsor will receive a smaller percentage from box office sales. Hailed as the biggest and best show in America, the circus as presented in "The Biggest Big Top on Earth" is sure to please audiences of all ages. The performance per-formance includes scores of foreign and American artists, wild lions and tigers in the massive steel arena, triple-somersaulting troupes of trapeze stars, jugglers, clowns and our spectacular circus parade on the hippodrome track with hundreds hun-dreds of lavishly-costumed performers per-formers and beasts. The educational traveling zoo is displayed free in the morning to all residents and groups who wish to witness the set-up of the circus. The zoo features some 25 species of wild, exotic, hybred and domestic animals. A feature of both the zoo and the actual circus performance is the world's largest herd of Asian and African elephants - over 20 of the ponderous giants. Some other animals featured in the menagerie are a giraffe, zebras, pygmy hippopotamus hip-popotamus and rare rhinoceros. Tickets may be purchased at a discount price beofre circus day at any office of Deseret Bank, Smith's Food King (American Fork) or from any member of the Pleasant Grove Kiwanis Club. |
