The Circus came to AuSable Forks one morning.
Sue and I went down to watch the elephants help to put up the biggest circus tent in the world, (according to their publicity) right in the soccer field of the elementary school.  It's quite a show watching this small city of people drive in, cars, pickups, campers and some of the biggest trucks that can fit on a road.  They carry every possible thing you can think of to have a circus.  There were two shows and the tent looked to hold about 600 - 700 people.
An Elephant is inside helping to pull up the big poles. Light systems on their way into the big top.

Everything was choreographed to a sound track it seemed, and it was done very effectively.  The sound and lighting were in sync and I guess it was up to the performers to match stride with that.

There were plenty of ways to buy popcorn and cotton candy and we had our share.

We sprung for the seats right up front, ($5 more) it seemed like a good price and I'm glad we did because it felt like we were right in one of the three rings.
