The program begins at 9”30 am in Circus World’s Hippodrome building. Circus World Director Julie Parkinson will lead the proceedings with George Stopper leading an invocation and prayers, followed by the Pledge of allegiance, The National anthem, and a medley of armed forces wervice songs honoring all branches of the military. It is hoped that everyone will stay after the program to enjoy a full day of Holiday themed circus memories under the big trop, plus the Festival of Flight Flying Trapeze show on the green.
