The circus did indeed come to North Mankato.  It was a fun time with the usual suspects of a ring mistress, lions, clowns, a bear and moneys, as well as a few unusual characters like the buzzard who once was a peacock??  And due to a change of heart turned back into a beautiful peacock.  

The circus characters have reverted back to their normal identities and are now preparing for a joint Christmas show with the Mankato Riverblenders on December 1st.
