Circus Stella

Join us for Circus Stella on Saturday, May

13th, 2017 in downtown. Performances

will take place at 1:00PM, 2:30PM, and

4:00PM.

Circus Stella (brought to you by FMC) is a

one ring family circus featuring rope walk-

ing, ladder balancing, juggling, static tra-

peze, aerial silk, stilt walking, and acro-

batics!

Circus Stella also features performing

rescued dogs. All of the dogs used in

performance are the beloved pets of Dex-

tre & Jana, owners of Circus Stella. They

are mixed breed dogs rescued from ani-

mal shelters across the country. They

serve as ambassadors of shelter dogs

everywhere as Circus Stella promotes the

adoption of rescue dogs, and attempts to

educate the public on the many benefits

of choosing a dog from a shelter.
