The circus is in town and we’re on the news

Posted on by

For those that don’t know, the annual Shrine circus is in Great Falls this Friday and Saturday. Although all the local Shrine units assist with the circus, the bagpipe band is the sponsoring organization and works throughout the year to make sure it is a success.

Pipe Major/Circus Chairman Bob Kampfer and Pipe Sergeant Jesse Callender were on the KFBB Community Spotlight tonight promoting the circus and playing a few tunes. If you missed it, here is the link.

The circus is the bands major fund raiser for the year, and helps fund the Shriners hospital, so please consider bringing your family and friends to a show!

Show times are 4pm and 7pm on Friday and 11am, 3pm and 7pm on Saturday. Tickets are available at numerous locations (see the video for a list) or at the door.

We hope to see you there!
