Tickets on sale now for Kelly Miller Circus

[October 05, 2012]  The Kelly Miller Circus is coming to Lincoln. The circus will roll into town on Oct. 6 to set up on the front lawn of the Best Western Plus on Lincoln Parkway and historic Route 66.

Everyone is invited to come out and watch the animals being unloaded and fed, as well as the elephants raising the big top. Activities will begin at 7:30 a.m., and the tent will be raised at 9 a.m. Throughout the day as setup continues, guides will be furnished for school groups and anyone attending.

The day will be filled with activities, all to raise funds for the preservation project for The Mill on 66, spearheaded by the Route 66 Heritage Foundation of Logan County.

The Railsplitter Antique Auto Club will once again host their annual cruise-in to support The Mill. The car show will be at the corner of Fifth Street and Lincoln Parkway between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The traditional, "old style" circus will present performances at 2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Circus tickets are now on sale at several locations throughout Lincoln. Beck's Travel Plaza, all State Bank of Lincoln branches, Kroger, the Information Station and the Best Western Plus all are selling adult tickets at $10 each and children's tickets at $6 each for the big event.

The circus promises to be more exciting than ever with many new acts and entertainers to amaze and amuse you. Come out and enjoy a day of fun-filled excitement.
