New Circus Royale owners Les Kimes and sons with Cuzin Gumpty's Pork Chop Review. Rebekah worked with younger son Morgan in the opening and finale in conjunction with Circus Royale clown Patrick. With youth and animals involved, I don't believe the USA circus world are in such bad shape after all. Add the following acts, Gwee Ming , Giraldo's , trapeze, globe of death, wheel, Flying Pages and Jill Page on the roman rings and you have a major indoor three ring circus.
Circus Royale presented David Orr a plaque in front of the center ring for his dedication and contribution to the American Circus by Rebekah prior to the beginning of the second half. All in all the show was enjoyed by all ages. Next stop on the Circus Royale tour is Rochester, MN. Welcome new Circus Royale owners Les and Rebekah Kimes.
Remember take a child to the circus, because someday he may take you...
