Shriner Circus

We took Miss A to the Shriner Circus at the new Cedar Park center. This was her 1st circus experience. She was a clown for Halloween so seeing the clowns was a big deal. This circus was very SPECIAL to say the least. So glad the money went for a good cause but um, it was aimed at an older rowdier crowd with motorcyclists with KISS makeup and tongues sticking out and loud heavy metal music, contortionists, trapeze artists with not too many skills, I just could go on and on at the oddities.


This very retro Lion tamer looked like Thor - there was a very 70-80's theme to the entire show


These wonderful Vegas showgirl style dancers were in their late 40's, wearing extremely tight spandex and very well-endowed in the chest region and thigh region - it was quite a sight - they took their job very seriously





After the circus, you must come home and play with your own circus dog
Overall, it was a good family experience to talk about if nothing else. Ash was worn out. The circus was over 3 hours long and we left after 2. Bring on Ringling Brothers - Shriner has their own special niche!
