Espectaculares Hnos Fuentas Gasca in David
May 3rd, 2008 by Don Ray
If you have been by the Chiriquí Mall, you may have noticed that a major attraction has moved in. It is a famous circus from Mexico.
Unfortunately some of the bigger animal acts (elephants and big cats) are not here. I hear it was a problem getting permission to bring them across the borders.
I was told that they do have other animal acts using horses, ponies and dogs. As with any circus, I would expect clowns and acrobats.
The show hours will be Monday through Friday at 7:30 PM. Saturday and Sunday will have shows at 5:30 PM and 8:00 PM.
Prices will depend on where you sit.
I found a couple videos on the Internet that will give you a little idea of what you might expect. The first is an acrobatic act.
The next two are dog acts.
My understanding is that the elephant act isn’t here, but here is a video.
I will never forget going to the circus as a small child and watching the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Baileys “Greatest Show On Earth”. Now that was entertainment. I remember Emmett Kelly and his sweeping the light act.
Well, this may not be the greatest show on earth, but I bet it will be fun to see anyway.
