This year counted as my 5-year anniversary with the Triton Troupers Circus. Granted, that year when I was in England I didn’t get to participate, but I cheered them on from afar. This year I was happy to walk in the Elmhurst St. Patrick’s Day parade to advertise for the circus, and to participate in 6 different acts for show week. The shows were dedicated to the group’s founder, Jeff Austin and his wife who died this past year; the 44th year and still going strong!
