I think it's cool that when I go to Whole Foods for a smoothie I am greeted by a circus performer. In fact, I have been in bars and ended up having drinks with contortionists and circus stars...and I even lived across the street from the tiny cottages John Ringling placed his "little people" It's the randomness of these occurrences that make me love Sarasota....
Tonight there is an event on St. Armands Circle. Nik Wallenda of the high wire circus fame is getting shots for a new TV show and using his home town as a background. At 6:00PM be in the grassy part of the circle and watch Nik perform stunts on the high wire with his family and friends. I suggest showing up at 5:00, calling ahead for reservations at your favorite circle restaurant and enjoying something extremely unique to Sarasota.
Enjoy the video of Nik on the highwire at the Ritz.
wish i coulda been there! sarasota's circus history is great. I can't wait til we'll see elephants parading up Main St again!
