Socially Speaking: Circus, Art, Dogs
Posted by Shorebread | Friday, February 10, 2012
Exciting things are happening all over the Eastern Shore this weekend. The circus is in town! Art Strolls are starting again after disappearing for a few weeks because of cold weather. The town of Lewes is going to the dogs and celebrating with Barkfest. Get thrifting and head to the Delaware’s largest garage sale on Saturday. Celebrating Valentine’s Day early? Go dancing in Millsboro. With so many things to see, do, and participate in – there’s no reason to stay home. Get out and get social!
The greatest show on earth will be calling the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center home for a few days this weekend. The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Baily present ‘Barnum Bash’ – an amazing act that includes a circus party, wild feats of wonder and strength, and amazement. The circus has a free pre-show for ticketholders who would like to dance, try on glitzy costumes, try their shot at balancing, learn to juggle, or get a few photos with the show’s performers. Ticket prices are: $10 for children, $20 for adults or $35 for VIP Gold Seats.
Circus performances:
- Friday, February 10th – 7:30 pm
