Shrine Circus

The Shrine Circus has always been a fun experience. When I was a kid, I loved going to the circus and I still do. This week on Saturday the circus is coming to the Watertown Civic's Center. It costs twelve dollars for an adult to get in at the door and four dollars for children. They do three shows at eleven in the morning, three thirty in the afternoon and eight in the evening. There will be all kinds of people and animals doing acts for the audience. People like acrobats and jugglers and animals like monkeys, tigers, and elephants will be there. Each act is about fifteen to thirty minutes long. The entire show lasts about two hours.

I asked some people about what they enjoy about the circus. Tina Gniffke said, “The lion act is my favorite part.” She thinks that the circus could be quite dangerous for the people that have to perform the show. Tasha Gniffke said, “My favorite part about the circus is seeing all the animals.” She thinks the reason why the circus is so amazing to children is because when you go to the circus you get to see things that you don't normally see in everyday life.
