Only every few years the Great Milwaukee Circus Parade rolls into town. Finally on Sunday, July 12th the parade returned. After a few days of festivities at the lakefront, the grand finale was the parade. Melissa's parents, Daryl, Jenny, Madison & Melissa staked out a piece of the sidewalk with the other thousand's of spectators for the highly anticipated parade. It is always quite the spectacle as the parade becomes entirely horse drawn with 50 authentic circus wagons, 350 exquisite horses, 30 musical bands and novelties, exotic animals, 150 clowns and over 450 riding and walking performers dressed in lavish circus wardrobe. This year my niece, Lexi Prusow, was also walking in the parade to promote the Children's Italian Dance Group of Milwaukee and Festa Italiana. She was dressed as a fairy and did a fantastic job walking approximately two miles, despite her brief case of nerves.
