A Struthers tradition

A Strutherstradition
Jonah Wilson, 9, of North Lima gets a face painting from clown J.J. (James Losasso of Boardman) before the start of the Aut Mori Grotto Circus at Struthers Fieldhouse. Aerial performer Vivian Espana, left, balances on a trapeze. Bill Commerford of Goshen, Conn., below, gets Minnie, a 34-year-old Indian elephant, to kneel so she can fit into the field house. Commerford brought two of the pachyderms to Struthers on Friday for the 42nd annual event, which continues through Sunday.
