Watsonville, CA: Hello everybody! Circus Imagination is lucky to be back at the 2012 Santa Cruz County Fair! We love this fair and the great feedback we get from the public! This week the children really made us laugh and sometimes even put a new spontaneous spin in our show! I heard the funniest things such as:
Ringmaster starts the show saying: – “Ladies and jellybeans welcome to the circus…”
In the meantime, on the blue tarp where the kids wait to perform Tina the TightRope Walker starts giggling loudly together with an elephant. Their dialogue goes:
Tina: -“Ladies and jellybeans? Does that mean boys are the jellybeans and girls are ladies?”
Elephant: -“I’m a jellybean!”
Tina: -“Then I’m gonna eat you!”
She starts playfully pretending to bite the elephant. The other boys, a lion and the cowboy, sitting around them start to scream: “I’m a red jellybean,” “I’m a peanut butter one!”
Oh well by then the Ringmaster was staring at us waiting for Tina the Tight Rope Walker to come on stage. She is the first act in the circus, but the conversation was so cute and funny we all got caught up on it. Even myself, the one who’s supposed to put some order in the circus! Or at least send the kids in on order! Me and the kids got an evil look from the ringmaster, and the show went on!
Here are some pictures from this week’s fair and our wonderful volunteers! There’s nothing like a child’s honest smile to melt our hearts!
I found this cute CLOWN POEM online that I would like to share with you guys:
Mr. Brown, the circus clown
puts his clothes on upside down.
He wears his hat upon his toes
and socks and shoes upon his nose.
He ties his ties around his thighs
and wraps his belt around his eyes.
He hangs his earrings from his hips
and stockings from his fingertips.
He puts his glasses on his feet
and shirt and coat around his seat.
And when he’s dressed, at last he stands
and walks around upon his hands.
–Kenn Nesbitt
Hopefully we’ll see you next year again!
Auburn,CA: Circus Imagination had a wonderful time at the 2012 Gold Country Fair! We had so many funny moments at the circus it is always awesome to come back to a place where kids still love to imagine and play outside! We would like to thank the fair for having us back and also all the talented volunteers that participated in our show!
Here are some of the cute moments we captured this week here at the circus:
Monterey,CA: Here’s a video of the entire show on Sunday, September 2nd at the 2012 Monterey County Fair! Click here to see it in our youtube channel!
Monterey,CA: Hello everybody! We are here at the Monterey County Fair for the 5th year, we have to say, it gets better everytime!
Our show times this week are 1PM, 3PM & 5PM.
We absolutely love being here! The fair theme this year is “very berry extraordinary” with the support from the California Strawberry Industry the fair is fruity and extra sweet this year! They even made one of the World’s Largest Strawberry Shortcake at the fair this last Thursday! You could smell it from 30 feet away! Look at the picture below.

Here at the circus we have welcomed back many familiar faces, lots of our volunteers look the same but are surprisingly taller. Good thing we have designed a bunch of new tall costumes such as the ferocious lions, the tutu tigers, the new muscular circus strongman, the primates fuzzy the orangotang and Mr. gorilla clown and even butterfly ballerina elephants!

Miss Gorilla Clown
Tutu Tiger
The Monterey County kids sure do have an amazing imagination. Some funny moments we have captured in our videos this week! To list a few:
-Random Screaming Butterfly Ballerina: She was so excited to be in the show she could not contain herself! After the girls came back from the act and sat down she kept on running around the stage, as the show continued! So funny!
Stampeding Elephant
-Stampeding elephant: They are such a perfect casting fit! About 4-6 yeard old they seldom misbehave, refuse to do the tricks with the wild animals and stampede the audience! Good thing they look so adorable along the way!
We also have new Champagne Sisters costumes, check out some of our friends of the circus below modeling them for us!

Lancaster,CA: Hello everybody! Circus Imagination is here at the 2012 Antelope Valley Fair! It is hot out here, the temperature has been around the 100s all week, but we do have one weapon against this heat: misters! So if you come to the fair and you need a place to cool off come sit down underneath the blue & yellow big top by the kiddie carnival and get misted!
We have 3 shows everyday at 5PM, 6:30PM and 8PM! These past couple days we have had some great kids (and teenagers) in our show, even with this extreme heat they were still full of enthusiasm and energy! We also have a new set of costumes for the Champagne Sisters – you can see it in the picture, they are really sparkly with beautiful sequin butterflies!
Check out some of our star kids on the picture below! See you soon!

Susanville,CA: Hello everybody! Today our circus welcomed a different bunch of volunteers. They were a little taller than usual (we had a 6 foot tall lion!), but just as much enthusiastic as the younger kids. Actually I have to say it: the teenagers that participated in our show were euphoric! It’s funny that the age range 14-17 is divided into “we are too old for this…” and “OMG! Let’s get dressed up!” Everyone is welcome at Circus Imagination it doesn’t matter how old, how young or where you come from as long as you are willing to let go of reality and jump into imagination land with us!
We also had a family come tell us today that they call the spot our circus sits at the fair the Imagination Station. They have been coming to our show for the past five years and after every fair they come home to create their own backyard circus! We love to hear those stories because that makes us feel our message is getting across: Play outside! Use your imagination! Allow yourself to have fun! Be creative!
Thank you to all the talented kids and chaotic teenagers that joined our show today! You guys are the real stars! Check out some pictures below!
Susanville,CA: It’s day two of the 2012 Lassen County Fair and Circus Imagination has been happily busy all day! We even had hoola hoop classes in between shows!
We had 3 shows today at NOON, 2PM & 5PM. The first two had about 5 acts each and the last one was ginormous! We had 25 volunteers on the show! It was awesome!
Check out some pictures from today’s Circus Imagination stars below!
“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” – Dr. Seuss
