Hundreds of people came to the Burlington High School this weekend to see some circus action.

The Burlington High gymnasium was alive with the fun of the circus this past Saturday, much to the delight of the droves of spectators that came out to see the show and support education. The Burlington Education Foundation presented three shows of the Cirque Du Jour, a traveling performance. The show featured former Ringling Brothers comedy duo Bucky & GiGi , Chinese acrobat Li Liu, daredevil The Amazing Sladek, EAST BMX bike show and more. All proceeds from the performance benefited the BEF, which provides grant money to Burlington Public Schools to fund creative and innovative curriculum enrichment programs. See our images from the show and post-show and check out our video of the BMX Bike show, complete with back-flips.
