Circus Scheduled

Published Wednesday, March 26, 1997 in the Nevada County Picayune

The Kelly-Miller Circus is coming to Prescott Sunday, April 6.

The circus, sponsored by the Prescott Lions Club, will have two shows, at 2:00 and 4:00 p.m. The circus will be set up at Bemis field at the Nevada County Fairgrounds.

The new innovation in the Kelly-Miller Circus tent debuted in 1995, and the public response was overwhelming, according to a news release from Kelly-Miller.

All seats are now equal distance from the one large performance area. Added height allows for a wider variety of complex aerial acts. The newly designed lighting system adds a theatrical touch and the live band is one of few still travelling on circus' today.

As always, the public is invited and encouraged to watch the circus "come to life" early in the morning on April 6.

The circus has new acts and new equipment, but it has the same excellent quality and courtesy that the public has come to know from the Kelly-Miller Circus, according to the release.

Tickets for the circus are now on sale from any member of the Lions Club. Adults are $7 and children under 12 years of age are $5 when purchased in advance.
