The show must go on!? Tell that to those that attended the IN state fair when Sugarland was set to play and the winds collapsed the temporary roof structure in a thunderstorm. No thanks…maybe Saturday daytime if they have an afternoon schedule prior to. Watch the forecasts and make a smart decision for you and your family.
The circus tents were up this morning at the fairgrounds. The show must go on!
Any word on the Circus this Saturday and Sunday in Pensacola?
