Carson and Barnes Circus is bringing its big top circus event to Blytheville as part of the latest Greater Blytheville Area Chamber of Commerce fundraiser.
The circus, which has been in business for more than 70 years and has presented more than 30,000 performances, has an outstanding reputation, according to Chamber executive director Liz Smith, and strives to provide quality entertainment and a lasting impression on the community.
"They are splitting the ticket sales money because they want to be able to leave money in the community when they go," Smith said.
Tickets go on sale Monday, Aug. 20 for the Sep. 15 event which will have two performances, one at 1:30 p.m. and another at 4:30 p.m., both expected to be at a location on the Arkansas Aeroplex. Tickets can be purchased at the Chamber of Commerce, located at 300 W. Walnut, or online at www.carsonbarnescircus.com. Smith said ticket prices have not yet been set.
