Thanks to the sponsorship of the Bonners Ferry
Rotary Club and Culpepper & Merriweather Circus,
America’s favorite big top circus is coming to
Bonners Ferry on Friday, June 14, at the
Boundary County Fairgrounds with two scheduled
performances at 5 and 7:30 p.m.
 Now
in its 29th edition, C&M Circus has become
internationally known for quality family
entertainment. This authentic one-ring, big top
circus has been featured on National
Geographic’s Explorer TV series, Entertainment
Tonight, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago
Tribune, Arizona Highways Magazine. It has also
been featured on the A&E Special: Under the Big
Top, and most recently, On the Road with Circus
Kids, a Nickelodeon special featured on the Nick
News Program.
Bring your friends and family out circus morning
to watch as a familiar place in your town is
transformed into a bustling circus city.
Activity swirls around the grounds as animals
are unloaded, the big top is erected, and
rigging is prepared for performances later in
the day. Enjoy the magic and tradition of the
American circus with your family and create
memories that will last a lifetime.
Between 9:30 and 10 a.m. come watch the raising
of the big top, then stay for the free tour.
This presentation offers a unique face-to-face
opportunity for families, schools and interested
community members to meet and learn all about
the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus family and
includes a walking tour of the circus grounds.
Learn interesting facts about the performers,
the history of the show and the different
species of animals in their circus family. In
this presentation they will also address topics
such as hygiene, grooming and the veterinary
care all of our animals receive.
In recent years the tent raising and morning
tour has become a popular program for families
and interested community members. It is
presented in a way everyone, young and old, can
learn many interesting facts about the Culpepper
& Merriweather Circus Family. This is a special
part of circus day that should not be missed!
On circus day, the performers bring the magic of
the circus to life in each 90-minute show. This
year’s lineup includes an all-star group of
performers and entertainers that include Miss
Simone and her amazing single trapeze, Miss
Paulina’s proud prancing ponies, The Arlise
Troupe on their wild and crazy unicycles,
Natilie’s American Eskimo Escapades, The Ayala’s
with unforgettable foot juggling, a ridiculous
Rola Bola and certainly a hair raising Hair
Hang!
But, lets not forget our favorite performing
jungle cats, Soloman, Delilah and Francis,
presented by Mr. Trey Key, that will certainly
have you on the edge of your seats!
All with original music written by the talented
Matt Margucci from Los Angeles. The performers
