The Circus Is Coming to Orange County!
Back when I was a kid growing up in the 1970s, there was always a circus coming to town. Seriously, there would be three, four or more circuses in the Hudson Valley during the summer. And I believe the Mid Hudson Civic Center hosted the circus a couple of times a year. And then there were the really big circuses in New York City. There was even an old joke about running away to join the circus. Not so much anymore, though.
So, is the circus a thing of the past? I’m happy to tell you that it is not. In fact, there is a circus coming to Orange County on Memorial Day weekend. That’s right, a real live circus. Just like when we were kids. Today’s circuses are much more aware of what’s right and wrong when it comes to animals, so you don’t even have to worry about that.
