Carlee And Charlie to Entertain the Panhandle

On August 11, two clowns from the Kelly Miller Circus will be visiting locations in the Panhandle area of Montcalm County.  Carlee and Charlie are advance clowns to remind citizens of the soon to arrive Kelly Miller Circus.

They promote the excitement and anticipation of the upcoming performance of the Kelly Miller Circus by presenting their own special show.  The show presents a fun mix of audience participation, silly comedy skits and colorful clown magic all wrapped around a bit of circus history with a focus on the importance of teamwork.

The audience will learn that the circus is an international traveling community with people from all over the world coming together to present a great show.  From performing artists to ring crew, ticket tellers to truck drivers, every job in the circus is important to the success of each and every performance.  Carlee and Charlie recruit members of the audience to help demonstrate the importance of teamwork with a fun challenge using a spinning plate that provides an excellent “Kodak Moment”.

The show is for children of all ages but primarily geared for elementary school-age children.

Sponsored by J & H Family Stores, and with the cooperation of other locations throughout the area, Carlee and Charlie will be following a fairly tight schedule.
