CircusCIRCUS (formerly Circus McGurkus)
Saturday, April 26th, 10am-2pm
Mercer Island High School, 9100 SE 42nd St.
Public Invited!

MIPA's Circus is coming to town!  This is our premiere event with plenty of activities for kids up to age 8, drawing families from all around the Seattle and Eastside area!

  • Come see, play along with, and learn from your favorite entertainers:  Reptile Man, Lego Man, Ronald McDonald, Dance Arts and more!
  • Enjoy our Big Tent with an assortment of games for the older kids, including the new "Be a Paleontologist", where kids can 'discover' dinosaurs!
  • Our younger children will enjoy the Little Tent racing around a tricycle racecourse, jumping on the bed (without mom yelling), and more.
  • Burn off some energy jumping in the bouncy house or traveling around the blow up maze!
  • Pony rides are available outside.  Get there early, this is popular!
  • Get your face painted by our artists and then get a "funny foto" to remember this event!
  • A friendly clown can make you a balloon animal or you can dance or play along with many of the entertainers!
  • Come check out our infamous cupcake walk!
  • When you need more energy, we have a bake sale with lots of home made goodies to choose from!

This is MIPA's biggest fundraiser of the year providing most of our funds for our Charitable Giving budget.  Admission is FREE, however there is $.50 per ticket.  Most games cost one ticket.  Kids can earn prizes by simply enjoying the games! 

Come join the fun! Here is the flyer to forward to friends and schools: Circus!

Co-chairs:  Erika Brown (erikajbrown@yahoo.com) and Kimberly Orndorff (kimorndorff@hotmail.com)

This is a fun day to get to know others while working together.  MIPA will sell these eggs at Circus for $1.50 each to open and 3 for $5 to take home.  We hope to make over 1000 eggs this year....so a potential of $1500.00.  We need just your time to make the eggs!
