Looking up

The crowd at the Culpepper and Merriweather Circus looks up with anticipation as a trapeze artist performs her maneuvers overhead. The circus was brought to town by the Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce and pitched its tent at Ludolph Field, the former middle school athletic field on Wednesday, holding two performances that night. The chamber took in less money in presale tickets than it did at the circus offered two years ago, but still counted it as a good fund-raiser.
