Let Your Kids Join The Circus (Skills Workshop) In New Rochelle

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — If your kids have dreams of running away to join the circus, the least you as a parent can do is lay a foundation that will give them a chance to be a star of the Big Top or at least impress their friends at recess.

Circus-appropriate refreshments will be available.

Capacity is limited to the first 70 children. There is a maximum of 2 tickets per family. Registration can be done here.
