The local Chamber of Commerce in Port Perry are presenting the circus on Thursday, May 15 with 2 performances at 6:00 and 8:15 p.m. at Fairgrounds. Each morning in over 120 communities across Canada the circus erects the big top feeds the circus animals, and personnel, and prepares for performances, rain or shine. In our fast paced living of today you will find the circus a refreshing change. A world that still respects tradition and prides itself in a performance that has never been censored. Martin and Downs Circus presents a traditional circus performance: 90 minutes of thrills and chills under the big top.
