How to Run Away with the Circus

Circus Imagination is a second generation, family owned business. In 1985, Greg Hegwer and Criss Raintree decided to join the circus and travel around the United States bringing joy of the performance and circus to all ages of children. When the couple retired from traveling the circus life, their son Caton took on the position of Ringmaster, keeping the family tradition alive. He married costumier Carolina Raintree-Hegwer, and together they make the impromptu theater of Circus Imagination. Everything that is part of the circus was either made by Caton, sewed by Carolina, or painted by both. The bright colors of the props and costumes will leave your children starry-eyed.

Circus Imagination stars your very own kids, in their very own circus. Depending on the quantity and age of the kids, each show can have up to ten different acts, beginning with “Tina the Tight Roper,” and we need a strong man, in comes “Sandow the Strong,” but he better be careful because “Bobo the Clown” just might steal the show. Kids can “join the circus” using just their imagination and choose from a huge array of props and costumes. The seasoned Ringmaster guides them through fantasy adventures and create their own circus. Sometimes kids take these experiences and bring them home, playing “circus” in their backyard for years to come. All activities in Circus Imagination are safe; their goal is teaching and encouraging children to play in risk-free ways, away from video games and TVs to get outside and get active! Circus Imagination Shows are held on the Main Lawn, multiple times daily. Please check the schedule starting on page 30 for times. In the same place, each day of fair, between Noon and 8pm, children can experience “Clown College,”where kids of all ages can come learn basic circus talents. Featuring classes on hula hoop tricks, juggling, and tight rope (balance beam); they can also free play with giant soap bubbles, hay bale maze and stilts. For more information on this great group, visit their website at circusimagination.com, or better yet, come to the Fair, stop by and let your kids go crazy!
