'Ambassadors of Laughter' to visit Cooke County libraries

Special to the Register Gainesville Daily Register

Gainesville — Want to learn what it takes to soar on the flying trapeze or just what goes into those cream pies that the clowns throw?  

Then join Slappy and Monday, Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Ambassadors of Laughter, for some serious fun on Thursday, July 12 at area libraries.  

The clowns will be at the State Theater at 12:30 p.m. to perform for the Cooke County Library story hour.

The state theater is at 200 E. California St. in Gainesville.

The Ringling Bros. clowns should add amusement to a special 30-minute circus storytime, which will encourage children not only to read, but also to discover, dream and learn. The library event is free and open to the public.  For more information on the additional libraries the clowns plan to visit, go to www.ReadingwithRingling.com.

The Ambassadors of Laughter will be in town to help kick-off “Reading with Ringling Bros.!”  

The library reading program is easy and fun for kids to participate.  

The best part is that kids can earn a free circus ticket by simply doing their library reading.  Children from ages 2-12 enroll with the librarian, who will give kids everything to start their library reading.  

For more information, visit www.ReadingwithRingling.com.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presents Fully Charged will play at American Airlines Center, August 1-12, and Fort Worth Convention Center, August 15-19.
