sk your average St. Louisan, says resident Frank Rolfe, and they’ll tell you that Ste. Genevieve is a day’s drive from the city. As Rolfe explains though, they’re missing out on a rich culture of history and architecture – all within an hour commute of St. Louis.

“It’s a cultural oasis,” he says. “Beautiful scenery and architecture, and no crime. I’ve visited other towns that are historically important or have a lot of charm – but they’re in the middle of nowhere. I’ve never seen any place that has as much to offer as Ste. Genevieve.”

Surrounded by state parks and wine country, the picturesque community recently received National Park status.

“My house, called The Academy, serves as two firsts in American history,” Rolfe notes. “It was the first public school west of the Mississippi and the first Christian Brothers School in North America.”

Ste. Genevieve lays claim to the largest number of vertical log structures in the United States, rivaling the living-history museum of Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Rolfe’s property, the Ste. Genevieve Academy, first became a school in the early 1800s. General Firmin Rozier took over the property and reopened it as a private boys’ school in 1854, building an additional wing and enlarging the structure to 7,500 square feet.

“The walls of the house, which are two-feet thick, are the original walls of Fort de Chartres,” Rolfe details. “The town took stones from the French fort, [abandoned in 1772,] put them on rafts and crashed them on the shore down the river. They hauled these heavy stones up to the highest point in Ste. Genevieve County to build it.”

The Academy closed in 1861 and was refitted as the Rozier’s family mansion, which stayed in the family for the next 74 years. Historic preservationist Timothy Conley restored the

property in 1994 over the course of several years. The Rolfe’s made it their family home in 2005.

“It has all of the attributes, from a living perspective, of a new home,” Rolfe describes.

“Heat, modern air conditioning, energy efficiency considerations. The kitchen and baths are fully remodeled. We’ve maintained the history of the home; my wife and I collect antiques [and] we’ve filled the place with mostly things from the early 1800s, some the 1700s, [that] tie to Missouri.”

The first floor houses a small museum that features such noteworthy items as a piece of Abraham Lincoln’s shirt, which he wore the night of his assassination; a document from George Washington; and a dining table, purchased from Conley, where David Francis, the former mayor of St. Louis and later governor of Missouri, is rumored to have worked on the 1904 World’s Fair.

Conley restored an additional property of importance in Ste. Genevieve, the home in which he currently resides, and the antique furniture of the completely remodeled Hotel Audubon.

As he describes, three families founded the charming town.

“The Aubuchons owned this property and were the neighbor of my previous residence, which belonged to Commandant JeanBaptiste Vallé,” Conley says. “Mary Pillsbury bought it and it is now owned by the National Park Service. My idea of philanthropy is restoring houses to their tiptop shape.”

Conley is this year’s recipient of Missouri Preservation’s highest award, the Rozier Award, a statewide honor that recognizes – TimoThy CoNLey, his lifetime achievement made in the field of historic preservation. historic preservationist Witnessing Ste. Genevieve become a National Historic Park is another feather in his cap for which he credits Senator Blunt. “[Ste. Genevieve] is Brigadoon for me,” Conley says, referring to the mythical, idyllic Scottish town that appears for only one day each year in the self-named musical. “The people are all genuine – a breath of fresh air. I’ve never seen a neighborhood in all my travels to match that.”

My idea of philanthropy is restoring houses to their tiptop shape.

HEALTH NOTES

Metro Area MINDFULNESS

By Alecia Humphreys

10 May 29, 2020 | LadueNews.com

‌S

ince 2015, FLOAT STL has offered sweet relief to metro area residents in the form of reduction in stress, anxiety, inflammation, stiffness, aches and pains via flotation tanks – sensory deprivation tanks filled with highly concentrated Epsom salt water heated to skin temperature. But now, FLOAT STL owners Kevin McCulloch and Jacob Resch are eager to scientifically show that floating – the act of drifting into a meditative state that rejuvenates your mind and body – is as functional as it is indulgent.

“Right now, it’s a little niche thing that some people are doing,” McCulloch says. “My hope is that a research project can visually and scientifically demonstrate that the benefits of floating would help more people feel like this is a viable option for them, and that they would feel comfortable receiving benefit from.”

After approximately four years of waiting, the FLOAT leaders have started a study with Todd Braver, a professor of psychological and brain sciences, radiology and neuroscience at Washington University in St. Louis, who studies the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying memory, attention and controlled processing.

In Braver’s research project, one adult twin subject will experience 8-week-long mindfulness-based stress reduction [MBSR] training, while the other will take

part in two 60-minute floats per week for 8 weeks.

“We are taking the brain scans before the 8-week process … and then at the end of that 8-week process, their brains are getting scanned again, [so we are] able to compare the results of those two to learn more information and be able to compare how floating matches up to this widely accepted, scientifically validated training process around meditation,” McCulloch says. “So it’s really exciting because nothing like this has ever been done before. What Professor Braver is doing with meditation is exciting, but for it to also now include floating is really, really exciting.”

Although the study is currently on hold due to COVID-19, McCulloch is eager to learn the logistics when the official study can continue.

“We really believe in [ floating] as mental health professionals,” McCulloch says. “My business partner [Resch] is an RN, so he is a medical health professional.

From our background and understanding, this is the most powerful tool that people can use to improve their lives to help themselves heal and create a greater sense of connection. It’s super, super powerful. We want to see it represented in other ways than me just saying it.”

AGAINST THE ODDS

JIM MOORE

By Alecia Humphreys | Photos by Vidzu Media

‌B

efore 2013, Jim Moore never imagined setting foot in a food bank.

However, a series of improbable events the same year not only forced him through the front door but also called his heart to support the cause.

“I got laid off from my job in a July-ish time frame,” Moore says. “I’m a bike racer, so I was like, well, I’ve got time, so I’m going to ride my bike.”

Moore set a goal to ride 1,000 miles in August. On August 30, though, already 950 miles into his goal, he was hit by a car at 40 mph.

“I was down and out for a few weeks, but when I was ready to get back on the bike and start riding again, my wife wanted me to get more life insurance,” Moore says. “Understandably so, if I was going to ride my bike.”

Moore says he had a physical for this life insurance on his birthday and, later that day, received a call that he had prostate cancer.

“It was a bad year,” Moore says. “I lost my job, I got hit by a car and had prostate cancer all in one year.”

Without work and with medical bills, Moore found his family needing food.

“My wife told me one day, ‘You need to go to Circle of Concern,’” Moore recalls. “It’s a food pantry. I did not want to do that. I’m used to making a ton of money, and then [here] I was going to a food bank.”

Approximately one year later, when Moore was hired at Spire ( formerly Laclede Gas), he decided to thank the organization for what it had done for his family by joining the board of the St. Louis Area Foodbank.

“I knew I needed to pay this back, so I got on the board,” he says. “It was probably three or four years ago now, and it’s a great organization.”

Amid the COVID-19 crisis, the St. Louis Area Foodbank set a goal to distribute 10 million meals to individuals in need in the bistate area by the

12 May 29, 2020 | LadueNews.com

end of June, in addition to its partner programs with more than 500 programs across the 26 counties it serves in Missouri and Illinois. “[For] the people that work there, it’s not just a job,” Moore says. “They’re on a mission. … They are doing a good thing, and they all pull together, especially in hard times like we are going through right now to get food to people.”

Moore has found purpose through the pain he’s experienced in his past.

“In my mind, everybody has a purpose, and one of the [reasons] God pushed me through this [is] so I could share this story,” Moore says. “One of the things I’ve found out is if you want food in St. Louis, you can get it. You just gotta ask, and so many people are afraid to ask. They are proud like I was. They think it’s [just] for homeless people, and it’s not. It’s for you and me and anybody who has a temporary crisis. That’s what they are there for, to help you out [and] to get you back on your feet.”

Turn Back the

Clock

Let’s count down the 10 most pivotal, memorable moments of area sports history.

We’ll go old school to begin with – 1958, to be exact, when the St. Louis Hawks won the only NBA World Championship our town has ever won, and likely ever will win. What makes it particularly captivating is the fact it was against Bill Russell’s Celtics, and it just so happened to be the greatest performance in a championshipdeciding game ever. Bob Pettit scored an awe-inspiring 50 points for the Hawks.

By frank cusumano

The meTro area has produced some of The mosT hisToric snapshoTs of sporTs hisTory in The counTry. here are 10 favoriTes:

This entry on our list belongs to the Monday Night Miracle, which, before last season, was the signature moment in Blues history.

Yet another magical Game 6 for the metro area, the Blues trailed Calgary by three goals with 12 minutes left to play in the Campbell Conference finals game. They tied the game with 1:17 minutes left to go, and Doug Wickenheiser won the game in overtime. The roof came off of the Old Barn, and the crowd wouldn’t stop cheering.

Game 7 of the NLCS in 2006 saw the pitch from Adam Wainwright that froze New York. It was actually more memorable than what happened eight days

later, when the Cardinals beat the Tigers in the World Series.

Waino’s curve ball paralyzed Carlos Beltran of the Mets to lead the 83-win Cardinals to the Fall Classic. Hard to believe that 14 years later, Waino is still throwing to Yadier Molina.

Despite the acrimonious divorce, which will likely last for two more years in the courts, Super Bowl 34 was pure joy. The Rams went from the outhouse to the penthouse in a single season.

They featured four and possibly five Hall of Famers. They did everything with a swashbuckling style – even ending the game with the tackle

by Mike Jones, which was one of the most iconic in NFL history.

Speaking of Game 6s, let’s hop to 1985 with the Cardinals and the Dodgers.

Jack Clark blasted a three-run bomb in the ninth inning off Tom Neidefuer in the NLCS. It was maybe the worst decision of Tommy Lasorda’s career to pitch to Clark, and it was Clark’s most important swing of his illustrious career. As a former Giant, Clark hated the Dodgers, and the Cardinals will forever love Clark for this moment.

Last spring’s Game 7 against the Stars featured the most important goal in Blues history.

There would have been no Stanley Cup and no parade without this moment.

On May 7, in a Game 7, No. 7 buried the game winner in double overtime. Oakville grad Pat Maroon came to town for one season, scored this monumental goal and then left.

It’s hard to believe that a guy with 13 Gold Gloves who is maybe the best defensive player in baseball history had his biggest moment with a bat in his hands.

Roger Maris’ record had lasted 37 years.

Mark McGwire hit his 62nd homer of the season off Steve Trachsel, thereby breaking the record en route to a 70-home run season.

Funny enough, the ball went 341 feet, making it Big Mac’s shortest homer of the season. The steroid revelation has tarnished this particular moment, but at the time, it captivated Cardinal Nation.

How likely was Ozzie Smith’s walk-off homer in Game 5 versus the Dodgers in the 1985 NLCS? At the time, he had 3,009 career at-bats from the left side without a home run. That’s why Jack Buck famously yelled, “Go crazy, folks, go crazy!”

Game 7 last year in Boston wasn’t heart-stopping in itself, but the result was historical. A 52year drought ended the night of June 13. On the morning of Jan. 3, the Blues were the worst team in hockey.

What followed was a true

Cinderella story among the pipes, a magnificent new coach and a bunch of players who believed in one another. “St. Louis Blues, Stanley Cup champions” will always have a nice ring to it.

I’m sorry – there’s no debate about No. 1.

The best World Series game ever played, which just happens to have been won by our Cardinals, has to be the winner here. Besides the 2011 Cardinals, only the 1986 Mets were one strike away from elimination and ended up winning the World Series. Fitting for a Cardinals team which was 10½ games out of first place with 31 games to play. It doesn’t hurt that a Lafayette High School grad named David Freese had one of the best games in the history of the Fall Classic.

STYLE SPEAK

ill Moore lives for that “day-at-the-beach” feeling, and that vibe inspires the St. Louis native’s online boutique, Calihoo. Moore fell in love with coastal communities while working in public relations in San Jose, California. These days, happily planted back in her hometown, the wife and mom of three is bringing that relaxed beach style to fellow area residents with Calihoo’s coastal-themed, artisan-made accessories, from brightly colored statement earrings, necklaces and bracelets to trendy clutches and cover-ups. LN recently caught up with Moore to learn how Calihoo aims to make waves across the Midwest.

Waves Making

What inspired Calihoo’s launch?

I discovered that, on a rough or dreary day, I would often wear a favorite piece of jewelry to remind myself of the coast. With Calihoo, I’ve sourced from a wide variety of quality artisans and showcased all of their beautiful pieces in one spot. I enjoy the hunt of finding the next great piece of jewelry [or] great bag. For others who don’t want to spend hours online, they can go to calihoo.com and get it all in one spot.

Tell us about Calihoo’s selection.

Calihoo is [about] “vacation vibes every day,” and many of our pieces have a coastal flair. For Calihoo, I look for pieces that make me smile – pieces that are well-made by artisan hands, not factories. Our pieces can work for [a] classic, preppy [or] bold style. The common thread is that you smile when you put it on and you know you look great.

What’s the inspiration behind Calihoo’s pieces?

If I can look at a bracelet, handbag or pair of earrings and think, “Ah, this reminds me of Carmelby-the-Sea,” or “This is such a beautiful, happy bag,” then I know it’s good. I look at a lot of different artisans’ websites. I also scour fashion magazines for trends. It has to be a timeless trend, and you won’t see your same piece on women all over St. Louis because I only stock a very limited [number] of each item.

What do you hope to ignite in your customers?

I hope Calihoo and its pieces will inspire my customers to buy only pieces that they truly love. Find the things that are quality and that will spark a happy memory for you.

And every once in a while, try a piece you might not normally gravitate towards.

t’s no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic – which has led to bare shelves, limited supplies or both – has ignited an interest in gardening.

However, starting a vegetable garden can be an intimidating endeavor. Thankfully, local experts are eager to share expert advice to ensure you have a successful gardening season.

“A little seed, a little sun, a little rain and you are done,” jokes Kathie Hoyer, sales associate at Bowood Farms in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. “No, seriously – plan well and start small.”

Hoyer suggests plotting the place for your garden first – preferably in full sun.

“If you have a sunny, open place, that’s prime,” Hoyer says. “If you don’t have a place that gets six hours’ total sun – doesn’t have to be consecutive – then you have to be creative.

There might be some places in your yard where you can put smaller beds – you can grow a lot in just a 4 footby-4 foot bed.”

Hoyer also suggests not discounting your front yard.

“If it is sunnier there, vegetables and fruiting plants can be quite decorative,” she says. “Or containers on sunny decks and patios if your yard is shady. Even the driveway works for large pots of vegetables.”

Once a place to plant is picked, David Sherwood, owner of Sherwood’s Forest Nursery & Garden Center in Ballwin, suggests starting with the soil.

“The key to it is starting with a good soil mix,” Sherwood says.

“A lot of people do elevated gardens, which are really the best in our area – raised or containers.”

Sherwood recommends using a raised garden and bed mix from Valley Park’s St. Louis Composting.

“The raised bed mix is basically a mixture of compost and soil and some other ingredients that allow it to drain well,” Sherwood says. “If you just go out in your backyard and dig a hole in our West County clay soil, you aren’t going to have a lot of luck. It’s difficult to get things to grow, so the key to it is just getting a welldrained planting area, and in some cases, it’s easier to build a bed up a little bit.”

Once the location and soil are set, it’s time to plant! Hoyer suggests beginning with the two or three vegetables that you’ll enjoy most.

“It’s very easy to get overwhelmed if you start out too big,” Hoyer says. “Maybe just make one small bed and plan to add

another one next year. It’s not just preparing and building the beds, it’s also maintenance and harvesting.”

Sherwood agrees that starting small and simple is key.

“Get a nice Roma tomato plant that’s not going to get too big,” says Sherwood, suggesting an approximate 24-inch spacing between plants. “Cherry tomatoes are also very easy to grow.

You can also grow those in a pot if you don’t have a lot of space.

Peppers are always very easy to grow, too – green peppers, jalapeños and all the different types of banana peppers.”

If there’s potential for pets or nuisances like squirrels and deer, Sherwood suggests protecting plants with cages or netting or even other plants.

“A few flowers around the perimeter – various things including marigolds and mints and things – will theoretically keep deer away, too,” Sherwood says.

In terms of care, Sherwood encourages watering the base of a plant rather than its foliage.

“If you water the leaves of tomato plants you’ll cause tomato viruses and things,” he says. “You want to water them in the morning and not in the heat of the day. Water will actually steam and cook the plants. The best time to water them is in the morning.”

In addition to watering and weeding, Hoyer suggests regular harvesting.

“Keep up with the harvesting – picking and snipping makes vegetables produce a bigger harvest over time,” she says. “Spend a little time in your garden each day. It’s not how much you do each time, it’s how often you are out there observing your plants, giving them what they need – weeding, trellising, harvesting or just admiring.”

GATHERINGS & GOODWILL AIM HIGH ST. LOUIS

LUMINOSITY Photos and story by Micah Usher

‌I

n early March, Aim High St. Louis held its Luminosity fundraiser (which supports programs that enhance the academic potential of economically disadvantaged metro area middle schoolers) in the .ZACK’s Urban Ballroom in St. Louis’ Covenant Blu-Grand Center neighborhood. Mike and Terry Mulligan, honorees at the event, received the Keith Shahan Award for being instrumental advocates to the organization over the years, which has led to the growth and success of hundreds of its young participants. Aim High, which annually serves 375 area students, involves a four-year summer academic-and-enrichment program to encourage positive development for students and help them become leaders and positive contributors in the community.

Aim High is an equity-based program designed for middle school students to help prepare them for high school and really start thinking about their future beyond.

Luminosity is an opportunity for people to support Aim High and make sure we can continue to offer this program to amazing kids, tuition-free.

ART & SOUL

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Image courtesy of Deanne Row

I

n addition to rising from a cryptic, somehow unseemly collage of puzzles and incorporating a gaze like the proverbial “thousand-yard stare,” (Mental) Labyrinth, the 2019 truncated bust whose image appears here, sports a serpentine coiffure recalling that of Medusa, the ancient Greek mythological monster.

Yet the sculpture – a 12- by 18- by 9-inch piece in papier-mâché and encaustic (heated wax and resin), with found stones and leather – originated not in monstrosity but in empathy, explains its creator, St. Charles resident Deanne Row. “The piece shown started as they all do: a generic human that might change shape, size, gender and attitude several times while it’s developing on my table,” she recalls.

“It just so happened that someone I’m close to was going through a physical and cognitive decline as the piece came to life.

“At some point, I started projecting my feelings about her directly into the work, and (Mental) Labyrinth was born of mazes and puzzles and dead ends that represented her struggles. These are balanced by the personal symbols and colors and happy memories added to the piece.”

In an oddly apt way, Row’s work in sculpture in general and papiermâché in particular arose from a bit of catharsis (an old, old word itself originating in ancient Greece).

“I began sculpting in papiermâché in 2018, as a means of ‘therapy’ during a stressful time transitioning out of corporate work,” she says. “There’s something tremendously soothing in building up hundreds of layers of gooey strips of paper – and then cutting, carving and grinding back into the surface. It was all very accidental: I had considered myself a painter until then.

“An interesting process grew out of these first sculptures, as I found myself reading many of

32

MAY 29, 2020 | LadueNews.com

the newspaper articles and ads while working. I started grouping advertisements and articles by theme, with the intention of using them to make a statement on the surface of a piece or hiding them inside the internal structure. They were well received, so I continued to develop this accidental series of work.”

Given the Gorgon-like hairdo

of (Mental) Labyrinth, a final irony seems worthy of note. Before COVID-19 turned the world topsy-turvy, the St. Louis Artists’ Guild in Clayton had scheduled a solo exhibition of paintings and sculptures by Row to run from April 10 through last Saturday, May 23, now postponed for obvious reasons. The exhibition’s title?

“Myth or Memory.”

HOME COOKING

PEANUT BUTTER SWIRLED

Banana Bread Photo and recipe by Jacklyn Meyer

Ingredients  6 Tbsp butter, melted and cooled  1 cup granulated sugar  1 tsp vanilla extract  ¹∕³ cup Greek yogurt  2 large eggs  4 ripe medium bananas, mashed  2 cups all-purpose flour  1½ tsp baking soda  ½ tsp cinnamon  ½ tsp fine sea salt  ½ cup peanut butter  1 to 2 tsp canola oil

34

MAY 29, 2020 | LadueNews.com

Instructions 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan.

2. In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugar until combined. Add vanilla and yogurt, and whisk until combined. Then, whisk in eggs, one at a time, whisking well between each addition. Fold in bananas with a spatula until well distributed.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Fold this into banana mixture until fully combined.

4. In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter and canola oil 1 teaspoon at a time until it stirs easily.

5. Pour half of batter into prepared pan, then top with half of peanut butter. Using a knife, swirl two together. Pour in remaining batter and then remaining peanut butter, and swirl again.

6. Bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, checking after about 45 minutes to verify it’s not getting too brown. (You can make a little foil tent to prevent it from looking overly dark on top.)

7. When top of loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, remove peanut butter swirled banana bread.

Cool in loaf pan for 15 minutes, and then turn loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

We wish graduates and their loved ones well as they celebrate this victorious milestone.

(Big) Top of Mind

By Bryan A. Hollerbach | Photos by New Scar Design

Circus Flora presents a virtual event to thrill and amaze area residents.

M

any readers may whimsically recall childhood threats to run away and join the circus – and many may also have felt despair when COVID-19 eighty-sixed the 2020 season of Circus Flora.

But those readers needn’t have fretted: That beloved metro area institution is proving that the show can go on.

In mid-April, with artistic director Jack Marsh, Karen Shoulders, the nonprofit’s managing director, announced that the pandemic had led them to postpone till next year “The Trial of the Century,” the circus’ 2020 production.

Originally scheduled for June 4 to 28 in y Sh t the Kranzberg Arts Foundation’s 1,200-seat t Sco y b Big Top in St. Louis’ Covenant Blu-Grand Center Photo neighborhood, it now will thrill audiences next June.

At the same time, though, Shoulders and Marsh noted that area supporters can still reconnect with their inner child by visiting Circus Flora’s website next Thursday for a virtual circus.

“Circus Flora has been a family summer staple for almost 35 years, and now more than ever, we want to continue to provide a bit of joy and wonder to St. Louis,” Shoulders says. “A virtual circus showcase gives us a new opportunity to bring the circus directly to our fans in their homes, and we can’t wait to ‘see’ everyone at 7 p.m. on June 4!”

Beyond the obvious nonvirtual/virtual divide, Shoulders sketches how next Thursday’s online event will differ from the institution’s customary presentation.

“You’ll have to make your own popcorn for this one,” she amusedly replies, “and while it won’t be a full-length big top production, we’re going to have some great acts and music – and the virtual format allows for real-time interaction.

“We’ll have a few Circus Flora company members online and available to chat, which is something brand-new for a Circus Flora production. Plus, viewers can make a real-time donation to Circus Flora as they enjoy the show, and that generosity will be immensely helpful during this time.”

While striving not to spoil too many surprises, Shoulders continues: “Our first virtual circus showcase will feature acts that are new to the Circus Flora roster, a few familiar favorites and a couple guest appearances. We might also have some pretty spectacular – and perhaps hilarious – behind-the-scenes glimpses – in case anyone is wondering what the Daring Horseman [solo barebaack rider Caleb Asch] has been doing during the stay-at-home order.”

Despite the finesse of the institution’s pivot, Shoulders confesses that the turn to the virtual scarcely came easily for the troupe.

“It’s a tough time for the circus industry, as it is for the entire performing arts sector,” she says, “and while our cast and crew are disappointed that our season is postponed, they unequivocally suppo ort nd the decision and are focused on staying safe until they can perform an create something magical together. Having the new June 2021 date, ass well as the virtual circus … , gives all of us something to anticipate.

“Like many of our neighbors, we’re staying home and staying safe, while we turn to the virtual world to spread the magic of circus arts. Members of our troupe are also helping in individual ways – for example, our costume designer has pivoted from sewing clown pantss to sewing protective masks.”

To defray the cost of the coronaviral complication, Shoulders says, the circus took part in Give STL Day on May 7. It also has been selling a limited-edition T-shirt (hereforgoodstl.com) through the #HereForGoodSTL campaign being conducted by Shrewsbury’s Little Tiny Monster.

Like a real trouper, Shoulders closes with this note on COVID-19: “The impact has been harsh and will be felt for a long time to come.

We’re doing all that we can as an organization to ensure that the show will go on in the Big Top in 2021, and we encourage the St. Louis community to help us get there by making a donation during our virtual circus showcase or anytime online.”

Circus Flora, 3401 Washington Blvd., St. Louis, 314-827-3830, circusflora.org

A virtual circus showcase gives us a new opportunity to bring the circus directly to our fans in their homes, and we can’t wait to ‘see’ everyone at 7 p.m. on June 4!
