Soon residents will recognize a new and exciting, albeit temporary, addition to their local scenery. It may seem to most that, the Circus Vargas Big Top materialized as if by magic, effortlessly and strategically placed amid the customary community surroundings. In actuality an extreme amount of hard work goes into the “Raising of the Big Top.” It takes a crew of approximately 20 men a minimum of seven hours to erect the massive structure. Like an intricate puzzle, tens of thousands of square feet of canvas fabric, dozens of poles, stakes, and miles of rope and cable are all placed deliberately and with accuracy, no detail too minute.
Then just as quickly as it came, it disappears from view. Handled carefully and respectfully, the big top is gently lowered and dismantled, neatly rolled up and stowed away ready to make the long trip to the next town it will call home for the next week or so. No longer a part of the local panorama, performances are over and the circus moves on leaving only memories and children of all ages in anticipation of its return.
