Circus fun, inside and out ...

The Allamakee County Fairgrounds in Waukon was filled with fun and excitement for two consecutive days at the end of last week, Thursday and Friday, August 7-8, as the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus came to town to end the week. Each of those two evenings featured two shows of the circus performance under the big top, in addition to pony rides and other attractions outside the circus tent (as pictured in the surrounding photos). The Waukon Park, Recreation and Wellness Department sponsored the circus performances, with proceeds from ticket sales for each performance benefiting the department’s program offerings.
