Circus is in town tonight — one night only

Article & Photos by Ethan Nahté

The Culpepper & Merriweather Circus will be in Mena on Monday, March 20. There will be two performances, the first at 5 p.m. followed by another at 7:30. The midway opens an hour before each show, giving families time to buy concessions, enjoy a 30-foot-tall slide, face painting or kids can ride the miniature ponies or donkey.

Come see the lions, tigers, and draft horses, the high-flying aerialists, and several new acts inside the ring. The draft horses are part of the bareback riding Loyal Family, a 10^th generation family tradition.

Tickets are $16 for adults, and $9 for children 2-12 and seniors 65-plus. The box office opens an hour before each show. There is no charge for children under the age of 2.

Tickets are all general admission, so seating is first come, first served.

Cash is accepted directly at each attraction. Credit cards are only accepted at the box office and the concession stand.

Photo are allowed but no video or audio, please.
