[Kzyxtalk] ZOPPE CIRCUS is in town! - Sun. 1 & 4 pm, Mon. 1 pm

[David Gurney]

The Zoppe Family Circus has been coming to Fort Bragg for eight years
running, providing joy, amusement, drama, and good ol' fashioned merriment
for coastal kids of all ages.  This is a truly authentic circus, with
performers from all over the globe, doing acrobatics, juggling, magic,
comedy, drama, music, and all other acts of amazement that circuses are
heir to.  Originating in Italy, they've been doing it for 176 years.

This year they ran into a hitch.  Four days ago, nine miles outside of Fort
Bragg, the "authorities" (we presume the CHP) pulled them over and told
them their truck-trailer rig was too long for Highway 20.  Instead of
providing them safe escort, they ordered them to turn around and return to
Highway 101 in Willits, with their circus big-top, and their gear.  That is
why you don't see their beautiful and nicely lit circular tent that has
graced Todd Point headlands in years past.  (Thanks a lot, CHP!) Instead of
giving up, The Zoppe Circus, in the true spirit of "The Show Must Go On"
put word out about what had happened amongst the close-knit circus
community.

Lo and behold our local Flynn Creek Circus was kind enough to loan them
their big-top tent.  That is why you see Flynn Creek's tent out there
today, along with the flags from countries all over the world, because of
their generosity.  The Zoppe Family Circus hauled all the rest of their
gear over the hill from Willits in small truck loads.

So, if you want a couple of hours of pure amusement to take your mind off
the smoke and fires, and want to support our local community, please make
it to one of their remaining shows:  Tomorrow, Sunday at 1:00 and 4:00 PM
and Monday, Veteran's Day, at 1:00 PM.

Please come and enjoy these dedicated and talented international
performers.  This is a  very real circus that you won't see anywhere else.
Maybe not again in Fort Bragg if things keep going like they are.

This event is a benefit for the Mendocino Coast Humane Society.  Among the
many sponsors are: The Skunk Railroad, Mendocino Coast Clinics, KUNK radio,
and Gary Fernandez. Don't miss this beautiful and inspiring show!

(Tix are $25, kids 3 and under free.)
