Circus Coming to Kelley Park in Bristol on Monday, July 9

BRISTOL — The Bristol Lions Club is bringing the Kelly Miller Circus to town. It has been 30 years since a circus has been to Bristol.

Circus Day begins as the sun peeks over the horizon at Kelley Park on Monday morning July 9. The trucks rumble into town and people begin gathering By 9 a.m. the elephants are providing a free show pulling up the 150x150' Big Top tent.

It appears as it has been choreographed, every circus worker, including the elephants, steps in time and knows exactly what to do. Excitement fills the air as before your eyes a whole magical world rises up and in just a couple of short hours a piece of Kelly Park has been transformed into a wondrous sight of brightly colored tents, exotic animals from far away lands, and amazing trapeze equipment from which daring performers will fly through the air to delight and fascinate audiences of young and old children.

There will be two performances at 4:30 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for the two performances at a savings when purchased in advance from the Bristol Lions Club, 744-3817 or joedenning1@gmail.com; or visit the following Bristol Lions supporters: Newfound Sales & Trading Post, Bristol ShopnSave, Shackett's Market, Tapply-Thompson Community Center, Cornucopia/Blue Skies Health Food Store, Pat's Seafood & Pizzaria, Bristol House of Pizza, Village Pizza, Gina's Place, Bristol Diner, Auto Trends & Minot Sleeper Library.
