have any animals on tour with it. By request we can bring some four legged friends to your town.

building show, we present two shows a day. If we are are performing a free act show at a festival or fair, we perform three
to five shows a day.
What does it take to bring Circus Vera to my town?
For our building show, we simply
need a local sponsor. Possible sponsors include Lions Clubs, Rotary Clubs, VFWs, agricultural groups, city councils, school
boards, or any other non profit organization. A group with four members can successfully host Circus Vera.
We provide everything that is needed for the circus performance. We do ask the sponsor to provide a building and
help secure all the local permits that are needed to perform in your town. All of these can be done in a day or two. If your
organization has any questions, the staff of Vera is more then willing to offer their expertise.
If you are interested in bringing
our fair and festival unit to your town, all you need to do is contact your local fair or festival and ask them to host our
show. We offer a free show to their patrons to help enhance their time at the fair.
How long is Circus Vera's show?
Our building show is ninety minutes.
Our fair and festival show is thirty minutes.
What kind of acts does Circus Vera have?
Since we work with each sponsor
on bringing a show that fits their needs, our acts change frequently. You can expect to see everything from fire eaters, to
jugglers, to acrobats, to contortionists.
Vera's Circus Sideshow (VCS) FAQ
When was VCS founded?
Vera's Circus Sideshow started
preview performances in 2009. The show won't officially open until January of 2010.
How many performers are in VCS?
The sideshow carries seven of the most bizarre
and strange performers on the planet.
What does it take to become a part of VCS?
We are always looking for the next odd talent
or human oddity. If you think you have what it takes send our director, Logan Jacot, and e-mail at ljacot@circusvera.com
Does VCS have animals?
Our show carries several preserved freak animals with it. Even though these animals are no
longer with us, they can still teach us that it is ok to be different.
We also have several very special animals that are alive that travel with us to most of our shows.
How many shows
are performed each day?
VCS is a grind show, which means
as soon as one show ends another one begins. So the amount of shows we do each day depends on how many hours the event we
are performing at it is open.

All you need to do is contact
your local fair or festival and ask them to host our show. We offer a free show to their patrons to help enhance their time
at the fair.

Our show is thirty minutes long but it will
take you at least another thirty minutes to see all of our attractions.

Fire eaters, escape artists, magicians, sword
swallowers, and much more!
