Youth Circus to highlight Kids Fest

A highlight of this year’s 12th Annual Koulee Kids Fest will be two performances by the Wenatchee Youth Circus.

And the performances are free!

The popular youth circus will perform at both 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., at the Lake Roosevelt football field, Saturday, June 18.

The Wenatchee group is sponsored by Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union as part of its 75th year anniversary celebration.

There will be aerial arts, wire and fire acts, flying trapeze, acting, singing, clowning and other acts.

Each summer the youth circus performs throughout the Pacific Northwest, and a host of interested parties travel by RVs too, and in many cases assist with the various performances.

Sort of like a mini-vacation, with youth in mind.

At each performance, officials try to work in ways so that local kids can be part of the show.

Other featured events of Kids Fest include opportunities for kids to see the inside of a fire truck, and sit inside a MedStar helicopter.

Kids will be able to create art with chalk, ride a pedal boat, play a round of mini golf, and get a look at some of the famous Coulee Cruizers cars, among other things.
