Flora Community Club and Volunteer Fire Department are sponsoring two performances of the Kelly Miller Brothers Circus on May 7.
The first performance will be at 4:30 p.m., followed by the second at 7:30 p.m., both at Flora Community Park.
The Kelly Miller Brothers Circus was founded during the Depression in 1938. Celebrating its 70th anniversary, the 2008 season features elephants, horses, llamas, camels, clowns and a host of international circus stars.
The elephants will lift the giant Big Top into the air on circus morning at around 9. The public is welcome to watch the tent raising, free of charge. After the Big Top is set in place, the public is invited to step into the tent and see men and animals complete their work. A knowledgeable circus veteran will be on hand to explain the action and answer questions about circus life.
Advance tickets are available at a discount and can be purchased at Flora Utilities Office, Sisson & Son Jewelers, Dr. Stephen Herr Dentistry, and Drs. Wagoner & Wagoner Dentistry in Flora, The White Iris in Delphi, and Brewster Insurance in Burlington.
