Big Top circus is coming to Marion
The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus is coming to Marion May 16.
The circus will be located across from the baseball complex, with two show times, 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Central Park Improvement Committee member Becky Makovec said the circus this year will be different than last time. "They will offer different things. It will be an animal and people act circus." There also will be concessions.
Advance tickets are $8 for adults and $6 for children ages 2 through 12. Ticket prices are good through May 15. After that they will increase to $11 and $7, respectively.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Central Park Improvement Committee.
Makovec said there will be a clown in town Friday at schools and downtown businesses to promote the circus.
Call Makovec or Angela Lange at the city office, 382-3703, for more information.
