Lions Club to bring circus to El Dorado Springs

The El Dorado Spring Lions Club will bring the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus to El Dorado Springs for two performances: 5 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 13. The Big Top will be set up just west of Fugate Motors.

According to Lion James Rosbrugh, it was about three years ago that the Lions Club brought a circus to town. He said that lions, tigers, ponies and dogs will perform, but no elephants. Rosbrugh said that PETA has caused so much trouble for circuses that have elephants that most circuses don’t have elephants any more. This is the first year that Culpepper hasn’t had elephants.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $7 for children and seniors. Tickets are sold at: (all locations are in El Dorado Springs).
