Dear Salida Circus supporter
On Sunday Aug 29, 2010, the Salida Circus will hold a community circus carnival at 200 F Street in the parking lot of Pueblo Bank and Trust. This event will be free to the public and includes circus performances, workshops, face-painting, food and prizes. We are holding this event to kick off the 2010/11 school year in order to let children (of all ages!) know of the circus opportunities right here in their own community. We are seeking sponsorship to offset the cost of this event. All contributions are tax deductible through the Salida Circus Outreach Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit established to offer circus training as a personal development and community-building tool to all citizens of Chaffee County.
