This post has been too long coming. Part of my procrastination is frustration with the photos. It’s hard to capture the joy and frivolity of a circus, especially because I try to keep actual faces to a minimum.
Publication on the Internet is permanent and endless and people out enjoying Eugene, no matter how public the event, don’t do so expecting to end up on a blog.
Okay, so back to the delay excuses. The other barrier is the circus. The real circus, I mean. The one where they parade animals around in circles and fly through the air with the greatest of insanity and dress up like clowns. Clowns. Yuck. I see the word “circus,” and ptttth. Nothing.
But, the truth is, the delightful, family-friendly Summer in the City event was about as far from the Big Top as it could get. In a good way. Fun, interactive, community building, animal-free. And the balloon-making clown was delightful.
Maybe next year they could call it a carnival.
