There were flashing of lightning and thunderous applauses inside Wally Fedun Arena on May 30 when Circus Funtastic (CF) presented two shows to a crowd of people on May 3.

Gustavo Parra, Superintendent and Ringmaster along with fellow ringmaster Jose Miguel. Both were kept busy inside and outside of the show during both performances.

This circus doesn’t use animals in their acts. It was arranged with a regular circular colourful big top with chairs around it.

This circus had an array of different acts. It featured many acrobats and one act of really fast juggler, as well as, an interesting and somewhat nerdy clown, a dance performance, and a real-life transformer.

During intermission, there was a bouncy castle, and pony rides for the kids. Citizens of all ages gave their impression of the event. Erin Robert said it was a good show. “It was entertaining for the kids. My four-year-old son just loved it.”

Thirteen-year-old Kaylynn Makarenko said this show was a great opportunity for kids to get to experience going to a circus and seeing all the acts. “It was very entertaining and gave people something to do.”

Keana Trent, a young girl, said it was so much fun to watch because there was a lot of stuff happening. “I liked seeing the transformer and Wonder Woman,” she added.

Shirley Jean who went with her two young sons said, “It was a fantastic idea. We really enjoyed the entertainment. We are grateful to the town for bringing the circus to our community. It was a great way to spend time with family.”
