Circus is here...

Nobles,

This is very late notice, however the Shrine Circus will be in Olympia on Tuesday, May 19th for two shows (4:00PM and 7:30 PM) at the Trails End in Tumwater. Patty Gatty’s Circus will be providing the publicity and ticket sales. We need to have as many Fezes at these shows as possible. There is a possibility for two shows on Wednesday, May 20th also. The times will be announced in the advertising by the Circus.

Apparently, the other two circus companies that have operated in the Northwest in recent years have fallen into hard times and will not be doing any shows this year. Therefore, Patty Gatty has been asked by other Shrine Centers in the area to handle their circuses for them also. She has been blind-sided and has had little time to work out her scheduling. There will be circuses in Lewis County, Pierce County, and Clark County (Vancouver Area) this year but will be announced at a later date for their schedules.

This is our circus and the image of Shriners in the Olympia Area is an important consideration as you make your plans to attend. We will likely have noses and fezes to sell in the crowd which will be a source of revenue for AFIFI Shrine Center. Full blown programs with coloring pictures may not be available to the Olympia Circus due to the lateness in notice of the dates.

BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!
