Helping Circus Flora End Its Season Right

Last weekend (12-13 May), I volunteered for the final 2018 performances of "The Case of the Missing Bellhop" at Circus Flora (https://circusflora.org/). After helping clean seats both nights, I acted as an usher and was able to watch the show. Afterward, I helped pick up the trash. I stayed around after Sunday's show to help take down some of the decorations outside the Big Top. This was most appreciated by the House Manager, Harald Boerstler.

This year's show was fun as usual and filled with great characters and acts. They included: Cecil MacKinnon, the theater director who played Yo-Yo, the Narrator; Amy G (https://www.amy-gordon.com), who played Detective Gordon, a character who investigated mysteries, sang in a lounge, and roller skated atop a desk; the Alanian Riders (https://alanianriders.weebly.com/), a thrilling Cossack horse riding act; acrobatics from Circus Harmony's St. Louis Arches (http://circusharmony.org/); Cuzin Grumpy and the Pork Chop Review (http://www.porkchoprevue.com/untitled), a troop of pigs; Jayson Dominguez with the Wheel of Destiny (https://www.facebook.com/Wheel-of-death-dominguez-jayson-1622632061318077/); high wire artistry with the Flying Wallendas (http://www.wallenda.com/family.html); swinging trapeze artist Rachel Karabenick (http://www.rachelkarabenick.com/); Swing Up, a wall trampoline act; and Adam Kuchler (http://www.adamkuchler.com/) as the Bellhop.

Overall, a great time helping out Circus Flora again this year. Looking forward to doing so again next year.

Later.
