Zoppe Family Circus returning to fairgrounds

CANFIELD

The Zoppe Family Circus will return to the Canfield Fairgrounds May 15-19, with 12 shows scheduled. Tickets are $13 ($6 for children 18 and under) and are available now at canfieldfair.com; they will go on sale April 15 at the administration office at the fairgrounds.

Founded in 1842, the Zoppe is a traditional Italian one-ring circus under the big top, featuring acrobats, equestrian showmanship, canine tricks, clowns and plenty of audience participation.

The fair and local sponsors are subsidizing the cost of youth tickets to make it more affordable. The fair is also partnering with the Mahoning County Educational Service Center to reserve shows for school-age children.
