We'll take you behind the scenes and meet the people behind the traditional one ring circus as it comes to life in St. Louis, Mo.  Circus Flora raises its tent and the fun begins with jugglers and high wire acts; trapeze artists and clowns; dancing horses and, of course, Flora-the circus elephant. Children of all ages enjoy the sights, sounds and music of this unique circus that is styled after those traveling shows of the early 1900’s.
