The show goes on Large crowds turn out for 2021 Circus The Circus has come and gone but the memories of a great comeback from the year 2020 will linger for years to come. When the Circus City Board of Directors began to plan for Circus 2021, there were a lot of questions as to how the show and festival would go concerning attendance. Because the circus depends on the income from ticket sales, attendance was going to be key as to how they would rebound from missing the 2020 festival due to the COVID-19 pandemic. There were also concerns about the downtown festival. Would many come out to enjoy the rides and fair food, or would caution still be the concern among potential festival goers? David Weeks, Festivities Vice President said, “downtown was always packed with long lines for the vendors. The number of vendors was down because they struggled to get help and a couple of people were out due to COVID. The rides made more than they have in 14 years. See Circus, Page 2
